Hi, everybody. It's that time, again. The week went something a little like this:
0. Bugs: Bug page: http://bugs.gnewsense.org/ Bug stats: http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Main/HowToHelp 36 bugs. Same as last week We need to try to solve some of these, and not just hope that somebody else will! 1. Package Freedom stats: PFV page: http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Main/PackagesInMain PFV stats: http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Main/HowToHelp We have 92 100% free package sections, which is the same as last week :-(. We only have another 1 section that needs adopting. Main libga-libgm has had some interest, but nobody has managed to commit themselves, yet. Anyone? Additionally, we have 15 package sections that haven't been updated for so long, that it's possible that the package section owners, have died (only joking)! It would be really great to have a go at helping these sections out. If you want to use Markus' script, to update the stats, look here: http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Main/MarkusPFVScript Any one can (and should) use it. 2. Report on Suspected non-free table: http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Main/SuspectedNonFree The Suspected non-free table doesn't seem to be getting as much use as it should be. Please note that any packages that you are not sure about, should be recorded here, and a bug raised. If the bug has been raised already, add your new findings to the bug, and x-refer your new findings on the Suspected non-free table. IF IT'S NOT DOCUMENTED, IT DOESN'T GET RESOLVED! :-) I sent out an email reminder regarding the Suspected non-free table. This doesn't seem to be being used correctly. If you have an item in here, PLEASE confirm that you've reported it as a bug. This hasn't happened on all the entries. PLEASE CHECK :-). For the columns that don't have dates of the last update, I have recorded _No date-STALLED_. When this area of the wiki gets scripted, it will automatically highlight the entries that don't seem to be moving on, and get reported weekly. Please update!! Could the following please check their entries: Pete Rock, MattF, Odder, Laidback and Edi...2 seconds work guys. Cheers :-). PLEASE check your entries! 3. I'm starting to look at some PFV checking of the kernel, and still need some volunteers, for the future. If you think you may be interested, can you please email me directly, at the usual place. This work is in it's early stages, and will not be started until Packages/ MAIN is completely checked. 4. It's been an interesting week, with notable contributions from Luis García (Ark74), Elopio and Lee...thanks, guys! Thanks as always to everyone :-) Cheers, Chris. -- Reasons why you may want to try GNU/Linux: http://www.getgnulinux.org/ A great GNU/Linux distro: http://wiki.gnewsense.org/ _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
