Hello, I have drafted a proposal for adding packages to the desktop-common seed. This would be useful to ensure that everybody involved in shipping the contents of the seed agrees on what's in it.
Here are the main points of this proposal: - If a package is going to be included, an email should be sent to ubuntu-release with some information on what it is, why we need it, if there are any issues with it, and who is responsible for the package. - An aging period of one week should be used to make sure there are no objections to a package's inclusion. If this needs to be waived, the person proposing its inclusion should state so on the mailing list, and feel free to proceed. - If anyone opposes during or after the aging period, they should work out any concerns with the person proposing it and/or the people responsible for the package. If issues can't be worked out, we can't include it. (If the party opposing it goes MIA, the proposal should be re-sent to the mailing list.) - If there's no objections, it can be added, provided a link to the proposal is in the commit message. Here is the full text of the proposal: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeedManagement/AddingPackagesToDesktopCommon Let me know if you have any questions, but otherwise I will be available during the next Technical Board meeting. Thanks. -- Simon Quigley [email protected] tsimonq2 on freenode and OFTC 5C7A BEA2 0F86 3045 9CC8 C8B5 E27F 2CF8 458C 2FA4
