Bug#981982: RFS: codelite/15.0+dfsg-1 [QA] -- Powerful and lightweight IDE

2021-06-10 Thread David Hart
Hi Tobi,

Many thanks for your review.

I know. The new release and RFS preceded the freeze, but didn't attract a
sponsor in time. I'll wait for bullseye.

>Thanks for the updated package…

It's long enough ago that I can't remember, but I'll check.

Sorry, that was an oversight.

I know, and 40 or 50 years ago I'd have jumped at the chance. But codelite
really deserves a long term maintainer, and that excludes me.

Will do. Thanks again.

Hi Kyle,

I'm currently looking over (old) RFS bugs… And this one is very old :( Sorry for
that … So, before looking into it, can you confirm that you still interested in
maintaining this library?

Other than that, I prefer to sponsor only based on .dsc-files, preferable
uploaded to mentors.debian.net, as this is a (IMHO) more concise defintion
about exactly what to sponsor and selfish /me has also some automation in place
for mentos…

So I'd take a look at libatl after you confirmed and have some .dsc for me :)

Just remove the moreinfo tag when ready and I will take a look :)

Bug#982977: Your RFS bugs.

2021-06-10 Thread Tobias Frost
Control: tags -1 moreinfo

Hi Thomas,

basically the same remarks I gave for #987996 apply to this packages
as well:
- You need to close the ITP bugs (and file them if you haven't)
- Intial uploads only have one entry in the changelog (closing the ITP.)
- The mentor pages might some hints that some stuff needs fixing
  (at least on a few packages are lintian _errors_, for example)
  Note: I saw at least one possible false positive for one lintian _warning_)

I'm tagging the RFS moreinfo as they need some fixes before it makes sense to 
review in depth.
please remove the tag once the issues are fixed and there is something to 
review.

Cheers,

Control: close -1 

As this bug is now more than two years old since last interaction, I'm closing
it. (the link in the RFS is 404 also, so there is nothing to sponsor atm.

Feel free to reopen if there is something to be sponsored and I missed it.

(As this RFS was filed after the soft freeze deadline, it would not have
reached bullseye. [1])

Well, the release date is traditionally "When it's ready(tm)" :). Said that,
for a datapoint, [1] says the full-freeze is planned for early July…
( So maaayyb August? ing)

> it might be possible that I close these RFS.

You shouldn not close this RFS if you intend to have 3.60 soon; you would then
need to reopen it, as one should "recycle" a RFS until it has been sponsored
(to keep history, previous reviews, keep your spot in the queue [2],  etc…)

I've seen both: removal and keeping… So you decide for yourself; if you keep
the unreleased, mark them as UNRELEASED though. (my personal bikeshed color is
to remove the unreleased ones and have the entries in the eventually uploaded
version only;)

[2] Disclaimer: I _usually_ take a look at the older open RFS first, but it is
not FIFO. YMWV.
