Hobbsee

#ubuntu-motu

Had a discussion with kmos about why he was doing things he agreed that he wouldn't do. Apparently he was modifying MOTU sync requests because archive admins ignore unconfirmed bugs, and/or marking them as wishlist "so they would appear higher up in the list", to get done faster. Appears to have no concept of patience, with 2 days being too long for him to wait for a sync request to be done. He says that sync requests are important, (presumably as are removals, overrides, and everything else that appears on the archive admin list). Promises he won't do it again, but he said that last time.

#ubuntu-motu

Kmos attempted to be helpful by giving me links to a debian security advisory when I was working on a security upload. Although the first link he gave was 404 and the second one I had already found, I appreciated the gesture.

Hobbsee

#ubuntu-devel

Decided to attempt to hijack discussion about apt showing reverse depends of virtual packages, by asking if i'd tried $random command. Source packages with different names to their binaries are not virtual packages, so i've no idea how he thought his stuff was relevant. Apparently he thought that it worked in the same way. Clearly he didn't test out what he was attempting to help with first. When I confronted him on this, he didn't say much, only that it "maybe" had no relevance, and then claimed he had to go for a job interview.

wishlisted sync req from a motu, not necessary, now three times in a row...that spams inbox (LaserJock) same thing with 3 of mine. Hobbsee: I've told him off for this before (repeatedly), including in the last month, and he's promised that he won't do it again.

Initial request to unsubscribe u-a was correct. However, I then ack'd the bug, and marked it as triaged, in the hope that u-u-s (which I now can't unsubscribe) would ignore it. He decided it was appropriate to go and revert my change (setting it back to confirmed). He has been told that it's inappropriate for him to go and revert changes that a MOTU has done (again), and says he will not do it again.

sync request (was a merge before), investigation about Ubuntu delta outstanding Hobbsee: appears to only decide it's a sync request whenever someone else has said that - but still appears to not be able to provide the required information anyway - dholbach: was valid and OK after all

(persia): When asked about the upgrade path and rdepends after filing the bug, reported no investigation. Later investigation by Ming Hua indicated that the upgrade path was broken with this sync.

Attempted to fix a bug which caused a loop that occupied palmer for several days, until IS killed the build. Requested others test a broken patch in #ubuntu-motu and #ubuntu-devel prior to self testing. Agreed to test and try to fix. Further discussion on #ubuntu-motu indicated an upload to PPA with the expectation that the build would fail. The build didn't fail, but luckily the buildd crashing bug was not exposed. Channel discussion requesting justification for this was incomplete, due to external scheduling. Further investigation and testing planned. See #ubuntu-motu log for 28th December 13:00 - 14:00 UTC for full transcript of further discussion. (LaserJock) Uploaded after proper debdiff was provided and consulting with Fujitsu

(persia) straight-forward post-DIF sync request. Debian bug #450537 could be clearer. The only benefit of the sync is the new menu policy, which was not mentioned as part of the rationale for the sync.

cgoban update

Following a Bug reported in Debian, the Debian maintainer made an update, qualifying for a DIF exception. Ideally such a bug would also have been reported in launchpad and linked to the Debian bug for easier tracking.

Duped it to 111800 which was bad because 178536 is assigned. Only noticed because I filed 111800. Don't think he checked with anyone first.

post-DIF sync request to work better with Python 2.5, but linked a Debian bug fixed in the release to the sync bug. Marked - because the bug task cannot be removed and so now I'm getting incorrect bug mail as a result. So dholbach removed the bug data and left the empty bug task to deal with my problem about incorrect bug mail and the Marco put it back. Marking double minus. dholbach: the bug watch was wrong in a different bug, this was one wrong too, so marking it just "-"

Requested review of Debian bug in #ubuntu-motu. While there is a bug in Ubuntu (not opened in LP), this is not a bug in Debian. This package FTBFS due to Ubuntu building arch:all packages on i386. Was asked to open a bug against Ubuntu to track this issue and request a sparc build of this arch:all package. Opened 183495
