Hi everybody! Just an update on the status of this. I've been talking with Christophe (huats) and he has agreed to help shoulder the load on the review. I'll take a second look once he has gone over things.
We cannot gloss over the NEW process, as it is in place to prevent us from redistributing code without licensing, and from distributing malicious or obviously broken code. Thats not to say that we read every line, but we do need to verify that proper documentation of licensing is in place, and that the code is in fact the code you intend us to package. Imagine what might happen if we accepted NEW uploads without looking over them, how easy it would be to write a trojan for Ubuntu users? That said, since this is a NEW package that is really a rename of an old one, I suspect whoever does the NEW review will be able to consider that fact, so it should not be a painful process. For the future, I would suggest that some Zentyal developers apply for Per-Package-Upload rights to maintain Zentyal in Ubuntu. Its clear that you all understand packaging, and this will allow you to keep the packages in good shape for every Ubuntu release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/928501 Title: Precise will ship totally broken ebox packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ebox/+bug/928501/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
