| Rhonda | rbasak: What is written in a package as maintainer isn't within what I do for the packages website. The website only presents the information from the packages, it is not the source of that information. | 07:58 |

| Rhonda | So yes, I see the point that if there are MOTU related updates to packages that guidelines have to get adjusted. But I am still unsure why you ping me with that because frankly, I am not doing the MOTU guidelines, won't update all the packages to reflect that change. | 07:59 |
| Rhonda | … unless someone wants to make sure I can pay my bills, then I'm more than willing to invest the time and energy to update all of these things. :) | 08:00 |

| ubottu | python-uinput (0.11.2-4build1, lunar): Packages python3-uinput. Maintained by Debian Python Team @ https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-uinput | 08:00 |
| Unit193 | Dangit, oh well. I can't get the bot to say it. | 08:01 |
| Rhonda | rbasak: You might want to discuss that with vorlon instead. :) | 08:01 |
| rbasak | Rhonda: sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that you now have a ton of work. Just wanted your opinion! | 11:56 |
| rbasak | The binary package python3-uinput in lunar and mantic have "Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com>" according to apt. | 11:56 |
| rbasak | I wonder if the packages website is mangling that somehow on the basis of the archive component? | 11:57 |
| rbasak | Same for https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/mantic/python-uinput - that's not the maintainer in the source tree. | 11:58 |
| rbasak | I'm aware that pkgbinarymangler does stuff, but the apt binary package metadata is its output, and the maintainer isn't ubuntu-motu@ in there. | 12:01 |
| Rhonda | rbasak: The data displayed comes not directly from the source package but from the Packages/Sources files in the archive. Within Debian I know that ftpmasters have overrides files that change data from what's in the source package, I'm unsure if that method is used in Ubuntu too. | 13:08 |
| Rhonda | But the displayed data is coming from the aggregated files in the archive, not through extracting the source package itself (or even going to the VCS) | 13:09 |
| rbasak | Rhonda: that's not what I see in the Packages/Sources files though: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mKsWyBvyF8/ | 13:15 |
| rbasak | Any idea what I'm missing? | 13:15 |
| rbasak | Rhonda: ah here it is. So I can just submit an MR to change this to ubuntu-devel-discuss@ I guess? | 13:21 |
| rbasak | https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/packages/-/blob/ubuntu-master/lib/Packages/Page.pm?ref_type=heads#L82 | 13:21 |
| Rhonda | Guess so. Should likely be done for all the packages in the archive with that maintainer/uploaders field then. | 13:45 |
| Rhonda | wait | 13:45 |
| Rhonda | oh, the packages code overrides the maintainer field, that's interesting - you were right in the first place and I stand corrected. Sweet. :) | 13:46 |
| Rhonda | rbasak: Thanks for finding that! | 13:47 |
| rbasak | Rhonda: no problem. Happy to have got to the bottom of it! So I'll reply to the list then for the record, and if we decide to go head and retire the ubuntu-motu@ list, then it should be straightforward to change that then. | 13:54 |
| rbasak | (done) | 13:56 |
| Rhonda | Exactly, yes. Let me know when that happens, I'm not doing mailinglists. | 14:01 |
| rbasak | Sure, thanks | 14:02 |
| Unit193 | Someone else had also mentioned something about merging this channel into #ubuntu-devel. | 23:38 |
