Sid-specific list?

2004-03-28 Thread David B Harris
A fair number of people I know who aren't heavily-involved in Debian run
Sid these days. Some of that, probably, is me begging them not to run
Sarge (for the obvious reasons). I've been telling them that they should
be fine, so long as they double-check with somebody "in the know" before
upgrading (whether on a daily or semi-daily basis).

I've been wondering if maybe it would be worthwhile to have a mailing
list specific to any humdrum issues that show up in Sid. Something
moderated so there isn't a huge amount of traffic for these people to
keep up with. Two or three posts a day, I'm thinking.

Thoughts?

Such are sent and discussed on debian-devel in the past.  I believe this
is still adaequate, especially since we keep telling people that they
should not run sid when they don't subscribe to debian-devel and -announce.

I would have agreed last year. I don't know if I've just lost patience
for it, but it seems to me like debian-devel is just way too heavy for
this sort of thing. I have serious trouble drumming up interest for a
full 85% of the traffic there, and I'm a maintainer and somebody who's
active in the community.

Would the list say anything different to what apt-listbugs produces?

Do we need a debian-infrastructure list?

2004-03-28 Thread Martin Schulze
For a while I wondered if we need a moderated list for infrastructure
issue.  For important public changes there is debian-news, for release
issues we have debian-announce, and for development concerns we have
debian-devel-announce.  In theory there's also debian-mirrors for
announcements concerning mirror maintainers.

Where should we send mails such as


 . Host foo out of order, local admin will run local maintenance
   tomorrow

 . Host foo finally turned off, services will be rebuilt on host bar,
   baz and waz

 . http.us rotation borked due to downtime of host foo

 . Service bar moves from host foo to baz

 . New host foo at bar for services baz, waz, and guuz

 . Architecture foo porting host turned into buildd, access restricted

 . New architecture foo porting host donated by bar, hosted by baz,
   with local admin quux and guuz

 . Service bar shut down for maintenance/security/lazyness

Joey

I for myself would be quite happy with most of them at d-d-a (at least
all permanent messages as "services moved", "host (un)restricted",
...), because they have more or less the same audience as d-d-a.
"Temporary" messages are IMHO quite good announced in d-d, together
with an appropriate irc-topic. (And whoever ignores the few messages
of a debian-admin-member to d-d probably is also not hit by temporary
outages.)

Andi

Depending on the traffic, if it's low I see nothing against d-d-a, and
if it'd be high, weekly summaries of what happens in d-d-a linked to
messages in -devel may do the trick.

Ciao,

Enrico

I dunno. We *want* -devel-announce to be read be every DD, even the ones
which are almost-MIA, in the hope that they'd react to urgent stuff. If
there'll be a lot more of infrastructural messages (which I fully
approve of per se) on -devel-announce, some of them might feel annoyed
by them (if they're almost-MIA, they're probably not interested whether
the BTS moves from master to spohr or whatever) and unsubscribe from
-devel-announce. Thus I'd rather see an -infrastructure list (but that
is partly due to the fact that I'm not subscribed to -devel right now).

More general infrastructural messages with permanent or critical impact
should still be CC'd to -devel-announce, regardless of -infrastructure,
IMHO.

I think that almost-MIAs that would unsubscribe because of these kind of
messages would have done so already, considering the weekly automatic
bug reports. Or do you expect the infrastructional messages to be more
frequent than maybe one per week?

I'm in favor for using d-d-a instead of creating yet another mailing
list.

You can easily procmail those auto-generated messages away, and they
have been around for years.

But anyway, I don't have a strong opinion on this.

When I last looked at it, I found it wanting. But it looks reasonably
decent now.

I'll give it a try for a week or so, see how well it does in practice,
before I ask for a new list to be created.
