Cool, can you make a bug (or re-open bug 1532358) and assign whoever's going to work on that, with a milestone of 16.10? That's two months away, presumably enough time to find cycles to work on this. And if it's not, that makes me nervous about the maintainability of the harness in the first place. > There is a README in the sub-directory for the tool in the source tree, > which states how to call the command. > [snip] > There's some higher priority work than trimming that fat at the moment > though... I feel like I'm not being clear about *why* I'm harping on this. It's not about trimming the fat (if you meant that like trimming source tarball size?). And it's not about having a README for the syntax of the command itself, though that is good. It's about being able to reproduce (or update!) the specific database you are shipping. It's basic maintainership 101 that if you get hit by a bus tomorrow, whoever takes over from you should be able to figure out what's going on. That's one reason (of many) to put comments in your code. All I'm asking for is a data/README file that says something like, "to refresh departments.db, install the latest Ubuntu Touch image on a device [which device? they each may have different pre-installed clicks, right?], connect to the internet, and run 'init-departments' with these specific arguments: ..." or some such. For example, right now, it's not clear to me (without examining tables in the database), which locales you ran init-department with to get the current database. But also good to know that the whole situation (tool and pre-seeded cache) is planned to go away. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1614203 Title: [MIR] unity-scope-click To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-scope-click/+bug/1614203/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
