Here are the data sources a d-i RM probably needs to follow: * d-i commits, debian-boot Probably goes without saying. If you're not already getting commit emails, be sure to subscribe. * http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/build-logs.html Expect to follow this on a constant basis and deal with failing builds. Daily build maintainers often miss that their build is failing, or need help fixing it. * http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/test-logs.html This really isn't as important, and failures can be hard to analise, but it's often a good way to see when something is badly broken. * installation reports At least skimming most of them as they come in even if time is lacking to look at them all in detail will help at finding when things break. * http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller* It's probably best to subscribe for email commits for any changes to these pages. * http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Today You're the main one to keep this up-to-date. * installer/doc/devel/kerntabl Also expect to keep this up-to-date. It's useful as a way to check that all the kernel stuff in d-i is in sync. * http://merkel.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/testing-summary.html This page is especially important when a d-i release is being worked on and udebs need to be synched to testing. * http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/translations.txt This is mostly of interest just before a d-i release, when RMs need to upload packages with translation updates. * The debian-release mailing list, and #debian-release. To find out about d-i related stuff, including udeb sync requests. * The debian-cd mailing list and irc channel. It's also useful to get commit access to debian-cd if you don't have it. Login access to farbror is also very useful when investigating CD issues. * The debian-kernel mailing list and irc channel. * http://people.debian.org/~igloo/status.php?email=&packages=linux-2.6&arches= This is a useful url when a new kernel version is coming out. * debian-www cvs for http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/, http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/, and http://www.debian.org/CD/ You will probably end up needing to modify all of these at some point, so also commit access. I have never subscribed to the commit mails, but I do follow the debian-www mailing list. * The debian-mirrors mailing list and Mirrors.masterlist (in debian-www cvs). It's good to know when a mirror is broken, and you'll probably end up making changes to Mirrors.masterlist, or uploading choose-mirror when it's changed. * http://www.acc.umu.se/technical/statistics/ftp/monitordata/index.html This is useful to see how much BW is being used to DL CDs after a release. :-) -- see shy jo
