Re: Updating the New Debian Developer welcome email

[Joseph Herlant]

Thank you both for your replies.
I went ahead and pushed a MR:
https://salsa.debian.org/aerostitch/userdir-ldap/merge_requests/1

> Are there discussions about updating welcome email in Debian RT already?

I notified the DSA team on #debian-admin as Mattia was saying in #910057
We'll see the follow-ups.

Thanks again,
Joseph

Hi,

I filed the bug yesterday in nm.debian.org package but got a reply that the 
welcome message is managed by admin team, not NM.

https://bugs.debian.org/910057

Are there discussions about updating welcome email in Debian RT already?

DSA manages user accounts.  After a little digging, I found the
template[0].

Updating the New Debian Developer welcome email

[Joseph Herlant]

Hi,

Yesterday I received my New Debian Developer welcome email (\o/) and
noticed that it's still referencing alioth for the hosting of VCS
repositories.

I couldn't find in which repo the template for this email was hosted.
Could you point me to the right repo so I can do a MR for this please?

The paragraph I'd like to propose a change for is:

The machine hosting most of our VCS repositories
({svn,bzr,git,arch,hg}.debian.org) is alioth.debian.org. It's handled
by a separate team (ad...@alioth.debian.org) as it allows login by
non-Debian developers. You probably already have a *-guest account
there.  Please refer to https://wiki.debian.org/AliothFAQ to learn
anything you need to know, including how to activate your account and
how to request the removal of your old -guest account.


Thanks
Joseph
