Re: contributors.debian.org (aka a home for contributors)?
Frank Lin PIAT wrote: Hello, Currently, the wiki has a lot of wiki-user homepages. There are two issues related to those wiki pages: 1. Wiki pages and homepages share the main namespace which cause false positive in search results... (yes some user choose some ambiguous names like root, Aim, DebianLiveUser, Mac, netbug) Could be solved by communicating a clear namespace policy IMHO. 2. Putting personal data under an open source license sounds weird. Allowing to modify and redistribute those data is... not something we want. (We discovered this issue as we were preparing the re-licensing of the wiki). The license is one thing, there is still copyright: mention origin, no misrepresentation, etc. So having an open source license for personal data might not be a good idea, though it's not a call for abuse of the data. The initial plan was to simply move those pages to wiki.d.org/User/ and leave those pages copyrighted to their owners. However there is an alternative: What about moving those homepages to something like: http://contibutors.debian.org ?? Any reason why it could not go to debian-community.org if it's not welcome on wiki.debian.org? Pros: * Every Debian contributor would have an (easy) to edit a homepage. (Raphael Hertzog mentioned that DM/NM might experiment using wiki homepage so applicant list their contributions) This would certainly be ok on debian-community.org IMHO * It is possible to write a macro to generate a Portfolio[1] Only needs someone to do it :-) * The wiki could be used as a weak openid provider for other services. (esp. for users that don't have alioth account yet). Could be considered. Cons: * What about debian-community.org? Do we integrate some of the services together, etc.. I think it should be merged together. Personally I don't mind if that would mean renaming debian-community.org or just integrating these ideas over there.

Too many bug reports open, missing tests, deadlines That's the reason why I got the last sentence(s) added to the latest release update. Unfortunately I'm busy with other stuff... 3. Size of PDFs with xmlroff on etch When you build the lenny release notes on etch, even with the xmlroff backport from lenny, I got Huge PDFs for some languages. I assume, that we need a backport of libcairo2 to get reasonable sized PDFs or just build on a lenny machine. The PDF for ml is 69× bigger when build on etch, zh_CN still 6.7× bigger! We need to fix this or change the Makefile: -DISABLED_PDF= +DISABLED_PDF=cs ja ml pl ro ru vi zh_CN zh_TW Anybody up for libcairo2 backport to etch?

Compilation time with dblatex on etch When you build the lenny release notes on etch, even with the dblatex backport from lenny, I experienced that it compiles 6.5× times slower than the same version on lenny. Is it my broken etch setup? Is it the older Python? Another reason to build on lenny, if it were possible...

Comparing a commercial distro with expensive support contracts and a community distro doesn't make sense at all... Perhaps, but then what about openSUSE (about 1.5 years), Ubuntu (1 year), Ubuntu LTS (4.5 years) and CentOS (more than 4 years)? I can't compare with Gentoo, and then we get to Slackware (which I don't know about). So in general, Debian is worst than others. Either way, I don't think that debian-www is the right place to discuss this. I would suggest debian-project or debian-publicity. I'm convinced that there's no reason to be proud, so I see no need to discuss it, unless you're confident that Debian should be proud. It can be removed anyway on the grounds that our users don't need to know whether the project is proud.

I guess non-us.d.o itself is the archive for the non-us parts anyway.
Also the usage of
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian proposed-updates main contrib non-free
in hour site is bad as it refers now probably to Etch whereas it referred
in the past to Woody. We should use code names instead.
Indeed - unfortunately I don't see any woody-proposed-updates on
archive.debian.org? Were there none when woody got moved to the archive?
I would guess even then it would be a good idea to have (empty) files
there -- on the other hand people have to edit their sources.list anyway
to use the archive.
Where are currently proposed updates for Woody?
There are none.
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/ lists sarge-proposed-updates/,
etch-proposed-updates/, lenny-proposed-updates/, oldstable-proposed-updates/

Because woody got removed from the mirrors and moved to the archive.
Even http://archive.debian.org/dists/ misses woody-proposed-updates/ but
provides {hamm,potato,slink}-proposed-updates.
See above about my guessings along that lines.
Would it make sense to update some links to old releases to point to
http://archive.debian.org/? Probably not ...
Oops, Ralph convinced me that it is important to update even old release
pages as Woody may still be used in production (even I have still such a
old system).
And it had been done in the past, see e.g. potato pages.
I will try to update the pages but need at least woody-proposed-updates ...
You don't need them. If it was empty it gains nothing to list it, but
if it wasn't (which I have no idea about - propably the people doing the
move to the archive know?) it should get fixed.

I no longer have the time and motivation to process the requests, and it seems to be the same for everybody else in the team. Any help would be greatly appreciated (and is really needed). How much we are talking about? Dozens of entries per day/ week/month? Is it just adding web pages? There are other tasks? Can we post a message recruiting people and training them? It depends on how actively they are processed: from a couple per month to a couple per day. It's just adding, changing or removing entries and their respective 'more info' page. Before adding the info is checked to be following the DMUP, being a real *Debian* consultant, being consistent and a minimum of contact info should be available. Before changing an entry, it's checked that the info is consistent (with other info for instance from the website) and being asked by the consultant themself or by someone who can know the consultant's situation. Removing an entry is done when the minimum contact info is not available anymore or when the consultant asks to be removed.

I worry about the status of the proposed updates. Those packages are not always released; only packages accepted by the Stable Release Manager are released and other packages will be dropped. So, IMHO those packages should not be recommended, unlike security updates. Enough explanation will be required. Wrong. The status shows what's in the p-u-new queue. All that is accepted is in proposed-updates and gets released in the next point release... One more reason to have proper documentation...

Luk, please always commit different patches separatly. I noticed that you moved files from devel/debian-volatile/ to volatile/ *and* changed the content at the same time! This makes moving translations much harder, because these need to be moved *and* synchronised at the same time ... If a translator misses the fact that volatile/ contains moved file the translator could redone the work! That's one of the reasons the split was announced on the list, so translators could see that they don't have to start over. Only moving the translation is not enough as the translation headers don't match anyway, though it had indeed been better to commit after moving them and before changing them. Please also note that a few scripts such as mirror-volatile.sh need to be installed otherwise there will be broken links. Maybe it's sufficient to just add a new local install:: target ... Right, everything that should be on the website should be installed... I have updated the Makefile accordingly. You also protect email addresses in volatile/team. I think this is not necessary as the corresponding mailto: in the source is not rewritten. I suggest to use clear addresses. Aren't these already available all over the net?

Re: DMUP violated? / Proposal: devel/website/using_cvs.wml
On Sat, 4 Sep 2004, Florian Ernst wrote: Hello list! Hello Flo OK, this seems to have been quite an unfortunate start for me: as CVS allows people to work independently and in the scope they prefer I saw no reason not to commit my first changes in small blocks to make sure I solely change what I intented to change, i.e. I fixed a spelling error in the english page and bumped the translation-check header in all applicable translations using the fine smart_change.pl, then committed this small block. I knew about the debian-www-cvs mailing list but thought this is acceptable, after all the system is set up for many changes. Apparently it was not acceptable, and at least one person was / is seriously annoyed by the amount of similar messages coming in, so I propose the attached change to devel/website/using_cvs.wml. Well, I was also a bit annoyed by the amount of messages. Unfortunately things have already happened and as the very same person has used the term abuse please check whether I have violated the DMUP (I guess wilful, deliberate, reckless or unlawful act interfer[ing] with the work of another developer and Mail Bombing _could_ apply here) or any other document. But I don't think it is a Mail Bombing or such, nor did it interfere with my work (I don't know of interference with anybody elses work), so I don't think you violated the DMUP.

As English revision 1.1 is more than 6 months old, the file would be completely outdated and as such is removed. You mean that the script doesn't compare dates of the modifications, instead it reads the header and if the header says i'm v1.1 or there is no such header it decides that this file is outdate? Bizzare :-/ If it works like that, there is a bug for me - definitely. No, it compares dates, but in your case djpig added a translation header saying that you translated revision 1.1 and that revision is way older than 6 months so irrespective of how old your translation is, this translation would be very outdated and so it was deleted. The only problem was thus that the revision number was 1.1 instead of 1.25. You can off course add it again. Yeap, and what happens when one day this script purge 20 or even more files in different directories? This would decrease the motivation of every translator :-/ You should add a translation header in every translated file with the right revision number (that of the english page of course). So, I don't think there is a bug in the script... But I do Still?? Cheers Luk
