Dear mentors! Recently I started a conversation about uploading new release of buildbot package with a lot of changes in the Debian part of the package too (http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2010/08/msg00258.html). Since the package has an official maintainer who uploads his work on other packages periodically I was considered as the one who hijacked the package (http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2010/08/msg00268.html). I've sent private message to the official maintainer as well since that time but still with no response.
I'd like to know what steps should be done so I could work on this package in future without being misunderstood. That conversation also showed me some things on Debian release management I didn't know about (http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2010/08/msg00264.html). I understood that the package cannot be uploaded to unstable since it could pass to testing just with the flow of time without any humanity checks. But I know nothing concerning upload to experimental branch and its policy. Can you advice any documents or other information sources on these policies concerning approving huge changes in the package structure? Another question I am worried about is a quality of my solution made in the package. I believe it is not bad but I feel there's could be better ways to do that. Can you please advice where I can discuss my solution and the way to improve them? Currently I participate in the buildbot project and I hope I can improve the software as well as it's representation in Debian. -- with best regards, Andriy Senkovych -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
