While I'm not a big fan of XMPP (and especially XMPP clients), I agree
with the reasoning that finding  an alternative that works for our use
case and migrating to it isn't a sound option given the time constraints.

So if we want to keep a public chatroom, I agree we should migrate to
another friendly XMPP server.

On the other hand, I barely connect to our public XMPP at all since we
don't do the monthly meeting anymore, and I wouldn't personnaly mind
dropping public chat completely.

Cheers!

FTR, and just in case someone stumble on this message and wonder, the
openpgp-applet canonical git repo has been on salsa.debian.org for a
while now [1], as well as the website [2], so this repository is just
leftover cruft. Can be deleted anytime.

[Tails-dev] Maintaining Tails relevant Debian packages in Debian - Gitlab role

2020-08-12 Thread nodens
Hey there,

since I'm in charge of maintaining some Debian Packages important to
Tails (supporting Foundation Team on this role),  the Documentation [0]
used to state that if you have an issue with one of those packages, or a
problem in Tails that might be a problem in Debian, you should mention
me (@nodens) on the relevant issue from our Gitlab.

The idea is I to give me a heads up so I can have a look at it and act
accordingly.

The preferred way to do this now, is instead to mention

@debian-packages-maintainers

on our Gitlab.

Right now, I'm still the only person that will get notified. That said,
the rationale behind this change is that if I'm unavailable, if I'm
replaced, or if we end up having more than one person fulfilling this
role, there will be no need to change the documentation and habits of
people.

The said documentation[0] has been updated a while back to reflect this
change.

Cheers!

It is, kinda: "You will need to clone the Tails Git repository, and to
checkout the branch that you want to build (most likely, not master)".
It could probably be clearer (I stumbled upon it myself), but it is
immediately followed by a link to the repo description pages, which
explain clearly that the master branch is mostly used for the website
and not the system.

Cheers !
