As there was some interest in the decision to remove GIMP from the default CDs in Lucid I thought this information might be useful to understand the process going forward. For those not already aware of the low volume ubuntu-devel-announce list and interested in development related issues I recommend they subscribe directly.
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-announce Regards, Grant Bowman https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Martin Pitt <martin.p...@ubuntu.com> Date: Mon, Jan 4, 2010 at 8:42 AM Subject: Simplified Main Inclusion Request process To: Ubuntu Development Announcements <ubuntu-devel-annou...@lists.ubuntu.com> Hello Ubuntu developers, after some discussion in the MIR team and on ubuntu-devel@ [1], we simplified the Main Inclusion Request process to require much less bureaucracy. What we really want is reporters to go through the checklist and discuss the violations of the MIR requirement standards in the bug report with the MIR team, not write lengthy wiki pages with boilerplate text (especially not for trivial packages like perl bindings). Thus wiki page reports will not be used at all any more from now on. Instead, we will just use MIR bugs, and discuss the package problems there (as we already do) and reduce a MIR to the rationale and a confirmation I checked UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements and those were the problems: - ... or I checked that the package meets the UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements. I updated the new process documentation [2] and also ensured that the requirement checklist [3] is up to date.
