Even if bug squaqshing party are not perfect for european like us who pay much for their net connection, and even if the organization is difficult, it's not a reason not to help. If 20 persons work hard and fix 5 bugs during this day we'll correct most of the RCB. Personnaly, I'll try to participate as much as I can. Please note that I'm going to NMU the perl-* packages (so if someone else want to do them, please tell them that I'm going to do it)... BTW, I think that we should also discuss the severities of the bugs. I have the feeling that many of them can be downgraded to normal. This is the kind of thing that could be well debated on IRC. Each bugs can be reviewed by 3-4 persons and if they feel the same way, then let's decrease the severity. > It's just the problem, that the number of bugs is still not getting down > and it seems many people forget about RCBs and the effect of the last > two partys was nearly above zero according to my knowledge. So I > distrust the effect of this party. I think this is quite understandable. Doing nothing won't help too... I already told many more time that we should have a more agressive approach for this. Fix a limit and say this day all packages with priorities less than standard that do have RCB will be removed. That would help a lot. :-) The standard packages should be corrected though and probably by the QA team (Wichert I already asked you if we could have this information on the RCB list ...).
