Hi, Starting Monday 2nd January we'll have Mer bug triages at 14:00 UTC on every Monday in #mer-meeting on irc.freenode.net.
A bug triage is a process to: Ensure bug report completeness Analyze and move bug to proper component if needed Set Assignee of bug report (via "Assigned to" field) to proper bug owner if any exist Set appropriate bug priority Adjust bug severity properly (initially set by bug reporter) Resolve obvious invalid, duplication, won’t fix bugs etc. Forward bugs in upstream components to upstream bugtrackers and adding the upstream URL to the URL field of the report, if applicable We'll be searching for all non-task bugs that has need-triage@ as bug assignee and go through them one by one in the meeting, utilizing the Mer MeetBot (http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot). Software developers are more than welcome to attend, to add a technical angle and perhaps assign some bugs to themselves to work on. In addition to that, I will start posting weekly 'task' bug lists, starting today, next one on Monday 2nd January 2011. If you see a bug that you'd like to work on, assign it to yourself within the Mer bugtracker. The bugtracker will bother you on email if you don't touch the bug within seven days. If you have any questions, this mailing list or #mer IRC channel is open to get help within :) The currently available tasks for taking are: http://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26 Evaluate dash as /bin/sh vs /bin/bash, disk/memory footprint/boot time/impact http://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58 nss should be upgraded to NSS_3_13_1_RTM http://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27 Evaluate benefits eglibc vs glibc, in terms of packaging, cross compilation and footprint/impact http://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59 nspr should be upgraded to 4.8.9 http://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28 Drop gamin dependancy http://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69 PAM should use system db4, not it's own http://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29 Drop gamin from core http://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70 e2fsprogs should be upgraded to 1.42 http://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30 bash should link against system readline, not against it's own copy http://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31 Move ntpdc and ntpq to ntp-utils package to save footprint http://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35 pixman should be upgraded to 0.24 http://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52 Switch from DWARF-3 to DWARF-4 in order to save debuginfo space http://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15 Switch from libjpeg to libjpeg-turbo http://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53 Switch db4 to libdb, 5.2.36 and switch RPM to it http://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19 Drop GL support from Mer Core http://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54 Include package build logs to the releases http://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20 Evaluate necessity of consolekit http://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57 dbus-glib is now merged to glib upstream so we should remove it BR Carsten Munk
