People,
The following offer is open till 8am tomorrow:
I hereby offer to try and find/fix any bug in any piece of software that
mets the following conditions:
0) Software is released under any of the standard Open Source or Free
Software licenses.
1) Is available as an official Debian package.
2) The version of the package in Debian unstable has the bug.
3) The software runs in user space (ie not kernel code).
4) Is written in C, C++ or Python.
5) Has a easy recipe for recreating the problem.
6) You notify me in advance of the Debian package name (by private
email please).
7) You can be present to confirm that the bug is fixed.
8) Time permits :-).
Hecklers, rubbernecks, supporters, people who think they could do better,
people wanting to help etc are all welcome. I will attempt to give a running
commentary the debugging progresses.
All bugs found/fixed will be submitted as bug reports with a patch to
Debian's bug tracking system.
So far I have two to work on:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=193966
nominated by Ken Caldwell
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=149088
nominated by Peter Chubb
Unfortunately, Ken can't be there until sometime in the afternoon and the
second one looks real difficult. I would therefore like to an easier one
to warm up on, especially since I am hoping to pass on some of my debugging
techniques.
Cheers,
Erik
