Re: [Sugar-devel] [IAEP] [ANNOUNCE] Sucrose 0.84.0 Final Release

2009-03-05 Thread Sean DALY
The media launch and multi-language press release has been scheduled
for March 16th, when release notes, the PR phone number, and the final
press mailing lists including the education publications will be
ready.

I will have Tuesday's marketing meeting topics & deliverables mail
ready sometime today, meanwhile:
http://sugarlabs.org/go/MarketingTeam/Meetings/03-03-2009

Please, don't spread the word without coordinating with the marketing
team, we don't even have the PR phone numbers set up and our impact
will be maximized if we can stay coordinated.

Thanks

Sean
Marketing Coordinator

Re: debxo ohmd testers wanted

Cool. 

> Packaging improvements welcome.  I'm yet to learn some tricks.

Would you like to (co-)maintain the package in Debian? I'd be happy to sponsor 
uploads and/or co-maintain.

Comments on files I looked at so far:

control: 
Standards-Version should be upgraded to 3.8.0 (after checking)
long description is too short (you wrote more in the mail I'm replying 
to :)
misses homepage: and vcs-pseudoheaders

copyright:
misses copyright owner
misses download location
misses short GPL blurbs
(see 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/03/msg00023.html)
mentions GPL but links to GPL-2

README.Debian
unneeded with current content (see above)

changelog:
version number should rather be something like 0.1.1.git20090304-1
we should file an ITP bug, so we can close it here ;) (rather to tell 
others about out intentions to put this software into Debian)

postrm+postinst:
unconditionally ending with "exit 0" looks wrong
are those files needed at all? I mean, shouldnt debhelper/cdbs create 
them,
if they contain autogenerated code only?

rules:
simple-patchsys.mk is unused, and if, I'd prefer patchsys-quilt.mk


Do you have a vcs where you maintain this?


regards,
Holger

The marketing team is already working on it. 2 things I think are left. 
Good release notes and a well enough working Soas for people to try out. 
Both will be available in the next days - at least that is the plan.

Should we get the marketing team to prepare a press release?

Did we announce it on Freshmeat?  Slashdot?  LWN?  OLPCNews?

So, how are we going to celebrate it? As 0.84.1 is going to be on, we
could do a bug fix sprint during a weekend.
