The session is schedule for tomorrow, Wednesday 31 October 2012, at
16:15-17:00 (Copenhagen time, which should be 15:15-16 UTC).
For UDS participants, the room is B3-M10. For those who want to follow
over the net, that means:
- audio feed should be the b3-m10.ogg entry listed at
http://icecast.ubuntu.com:8000/status.xsl
- you can ask interact during the session via IRC on FreeNode, on the
#ubuntu-uds-b3-m10 channel
- a TitanPad for minutes is available at
http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-r/meeting/21107/community-r-debian/
There are topics from past years (which I haven't reviewed) at
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/community-q-debian
For completeness, here are the topics that have been suggested in reply
to my call for topics here, which I plan to raise during the session:
- support for "sid" suites in Ubuntu PPA (for completeness, I've already
asked Canonical about this in the past, and got a "no" in reply, due
to lack of needed resources. I'll check again tomorrow to see if
things have changed, and anyhow to document publicly the state so that
people would be aware of it more widely.)
- state of Debian packaging of Unity and Ubuntu One. (Probably there
isn't much to say about this, except "it will happen sooner if you
help :-)", but it'd be interesting to know if Ubuntu/Canonical share
the interest of some members of our community in having such software
in Debian)
- packages in Ubuntu Packages/Sources files missing SHA-1/SHA-256, see
relevant entries from
http://dex.alioth.debian.org/census/Ubuntu/check-package-list
- reduce the amount of packages that have been re-packaged from scratch
in Ubuntu, or have "forked" packaging wrt Debian (as an indicator to
spot them: they result in huge patches when we look at diffs in
infrastructure tools like the derivatives census). Tentative list:
linux
iceweasel/firefox and other mozilla stuff
nvidia-graphics-drivers
chromium-browser
wine/wine-unstable
calligra-l10n/koffice-l10n
kde/xfce/gnome/lxde
edubuntu/debian-edu
digikam
gtkmm3.0
kdepim
mame
moon
openjdk-7
qt4-x11
qtwebkit-source
quassel
wxwidgets2.8
ideal goal: reduce the size of
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/sync-blacklist.txt
- encouraging MOTUs to help the review process on the debian-mentors
list, some starting points:
http://mentors.debian.net/intro-reviewers
http://wiki.debian.org/SponsorChecklist
http://wiki.debian.org/HowToPackageForDebian#Check_points_for_any_package
http://wiki.debian.org/LucaFalavigna/NEWChecklist
Thanks to all the people who contributed the above topics!
