Hello,
At the moment the #debian-java channel is much less useful than it could
be because of the high number of Salsa notifications that are sent to
it. These notifications are also quite bursty: in between periods of
quiet time, there could be several dozen notifications printed to the
channel in a short time span.
So, as I mentioned during today's DebConf Java-team BoF meeting, I'd
like to propose moving *all* Salsa notifications for java-team projects
to a new channel: #debian-java-changes
- All branches
- Push, tag and MR events only
I would also like to propose adding Debian's Java packages to the BTS
bot [1] on IRC, to post BTS and archive notifications to
#debian-java-changes as well.
This is akin to what other teams are doing in Debian.
I believe this change will help make the IRC channel useful again for
mutual help and onboarding newcomers to the Debian Java packaging world.
Does that work for everyone?
Thanks.
