MOTU Meeting tomorrow

archive admins to process NEW? Also, any suggestions for a last push? It would be unfortunate to have a package be all ready on REVU and not make the archive due to too few reviewers (Emmet Hikory) If you would like to raise anything else for discussion, please add it to the agenda (1). As a reminder

Re: REVU Keychain Problems

tem just scraped Launchpad data and little > user intervention would be required. I'd recommend extending your expiry date rather than generating a new key, if you remain confident your key has not been compromised. If you do have a new key, just request a keyring sync in #ubuntu-motu o

Re: Naming problem for the "Falcon Programming Language" in Ubuntu.

etime before the hardy release, one of the usages of /usr/bin/falcon will be renamed. As this conflict has now been raised and is under discussion, it should neither block review of other aspects of the falconpl package, nor block inclusion if all other conditions are met. 1; https://lists.ubunt

Re: Is this possible

nd any problems encountered likely need to be addressed, whether to support your maintenance of the package before joining MOTU, or to support your maintenance external to MOTU. -- Emmet HIKORY -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at:

REVU Day for 21st January, 2008

REVU Day for 28th January 2008

Updated packages for today: 40 In total, we need 107 advocates to get them in, which is one each, and someone needs to do two. Given that a lot of people are busy with other things for feature freeze, please try to do at least two or three (or more if you like). -- Emmet HIKORY -- Ubuntu-motu

Final REVU Day for Hardy Heron

you can upload promptly in response to commentary. This is the last organised effort to get things in before FeatureFreeze: things not uploaded this time are likely good candidates for hardy+1. -- Emmet HIKORY -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubsc

Re: MOTU Meeting Minutes for 2008-02-01

interested parties should be involved for hardy+1 starting much earlier. pre-summit would be good, but even pre-DIF would be acceptable, assuming that interested parties had already been preparing their agendas. -- Emmet HIKORY -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu

Re: experimental packaging of hugin

Re: New packages on revu - delay?

st way to ask for a sync is to request via IRC on #ubuntu-motu on freenode (although I've synced again now). Please be aware that this is very late for package inclusion in hardy: you will need significant interest from MOTUs to get this package thorough REVU prior to feature freeze. --
