= Apps Sprint =

We'd like to have an '''Apps Sprint''' together.

 * Proposed date: Monday, 2nd July to Wednesday, 4th July.
 * Where: `#ubuntu-arb` on irc.freenode.net

As part of this event we will work together to review apps and identify common issues and discuss how to resolve them systematically.

== Check list ==

When reviewing an app, make sure you roughly follow this scheme:

 * Mention on IRC what you're looking at to minimise overlap.
 * Make use of [[AppReviewBoard/Review/Responses]] for very common problems.
 * You might want to make use of [[AppReviewBoard/AppsBranches]] to get the branch of an app easily.
 * Install `arb-lint` to check packages for errors: {{{
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dholbach/ppa
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install arb-lint
}}}
 * To use `arb-lint`, first build the package (you can use `bzr bd -- -us -uc` for example), then run this:{{{
~$ cd cooking-lens
~/cooking-lens$ bzr bd -- -us -uc
 [...]
~/cooking-lens$ arb-lint
E: This package contains translations, which are not shipped in /opt.
   This issue needs to be fixed. Look at XXX for an example how do fix
   it.
~/cooking-lens$
}}}
 * [[AppReviewBoard/Review/Guidelines]] should give you a good idea of how to do a review.
 * Ask on IRC whenever you run into problems.
 * It might be interesting to find out if we can
  * add tests for common problems, links to possible fixes and canned responses to `arb-lint`
  * fix issues in the `quickly` templates to improve the situation for future apps
  * improve `pkgme` to help us with the packaging in the future
  * document the issues, along with links to fixes, so it becomes easier for others to do the same
