Hello people, in the last months, partly due to the demise of Alioth and partly thanks to a Google Summer of Code, the Debian Package Tracker gained a few useful features for maintainer teams: https://qa.pages.debian.net/distro-tracker/usage/teams.html TLDR summary: - if you create a team on the package tracker, you get an email team+<identifier>@tracker.debian.org that you can use in the Maintainer field of your team packages. Packages with such email addresses in the Maintainer or Uploaders field will be automatically added to the corresponding team. Those emails addresses can also be used to discuss between team members (members with muted subscriptions or members who disabled the contact keyword for the team will not get manual messages sent to those addresses) although there are no public archives of those discussions. - the team page has gained an overview of all team packages (following the lead of what PET — Package's Entropy Tracker — offered in the past). Ex: https://tracker.debian.org/teams/pkg-security/ (don't try to click on the "View More" link for a team with thousands of packages, you won't get any useful result in a reasonable time, thank you) This work is happening in a Google Summer of Code project and it's not yet ready for prime-time but your feedback (and help, see below) is welcome on debian-qa@lists.debian.org (with a courtesy copy to Arthur Del Esposte <arthurmde@gmail.com>) and on https://salsa.debian.org/arthurmde-guest/gsoc-2018/issues And as usual, your help to maintain tracker.debian.org is more than welcome. With the switch to Salsa/GitLab a few months ago, the process to contribute to the project has been streamlined and is now easier than ever. Have a look at the documentation for contributors: https://qa.pages.debian.net/distro-tracker/contributing.html BTW the entire documentation has been restructured and expanded: https://qa.pages.debian.net/distro-tracker/index.html Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog ◈ Debian Developer Support Debian LTS: https://www.freexian.com/services/debian-lts.html Learn to master Debian: https://debian-handbook.info/get/
