Hi everybody, here is a short report from the bug squashing party, which took place at tarent solutions GmbH[1], Bonn, Germany, the last weekend. It was poartially sponsored by tarent solutions and partially by Teckids[2], with tarent sponsoring rooms and drinks, and Teckids sponsoring network and food.
We had a very nice weekend with ten different people attending, including two new contributors from Italy (one of them from Tarent in southern Italy - nice coincidence, if you followed closely ;)). I am very proud that we managed to have a, form my point of view, very good balance between -project and -devel work, and also socialising. The two perosns from Italy got to know some of our tools, and fixed their first two bugs, and concluded that they would invest some more time into Debian in the future. I also spent several hours in the kitchen, creating more or less creative food (called "live catering" by one attendee) troughout the days ;). I very much enjoyed this . Now, coming to the technical stuff: It looks like we touched 38 RC bugsthis weekend, which is close to an impressing 10% of all RC bugs in buster atthis time. To be fair, we merged a lot. The bugs that remained at the end are listed at [3]. Here are short summaries: * Paolo and Thorsten made a lot of packagres build their documentation again, after a bug in a TeX package broke doxygen. * Christoph fixed a legal issue in a row of netkit-* related packages, which contained stuff without accompanying source. If he really uploads, we are sadly losing an important BSP running gag ;)! * Antonio and me fixed an issue installing freeipmi tools due to incomplete default settings for service startup. * I fixed several bugs in sssd which made it fail to build. * A row of test failures due to minor changes in dependencies were fixed. * Python packages installign header files to wrong locations were fixed in a row. * A SEGFAULT in midori when editing proxy settings was fixed, and sent and applied upstream. * Other stuff I failed to list here. We also had two people attend looking for inspiration for their own BSP, and we are now expecting another BSP in Germany at the beginning of May ;). As the main organiser, I want to thank everyone who attended for making this weekend so great. tarent, Teckids and me were very proud to be your hosts, and are looking forward to welcoming you on board again ☺!
