Testing Lubuntu

If you'd like to help with testing of Lubuntu, please look at Testing that area has all the latest news of where the team is up to in terms of development releases.

PPA management

During the testing phase you may be asked via the mailing list to help test software by adding a test PPA. Sometimes it does not go too well and you need to reverse the changes. A great tool for this is APT. It's installed by default as the terminal package manager.

Usage is quite simple, just issue the following command: 

sudo apt-add-repository -r ppa:Name_of_ppa

E.g., if the ppa is test/ppa the command would be: 

sudo apt-add-repository -r ppa:test/ppa

How to manage thoses packages :

  • Install bzr-builddeb and devscripts
  • When you do a modification, add an entry in debian/changelog and run "debcommit" to commit change.
  • To test the package, use bzr-buildpackage. It will generate the deb in ../build-area/
  • To generate the source for upload, use bzr-buildpackage -S
  • When you want to release, use "dch -r" and "debcommit -r"

Oneiric tasks

Old tasks and schedule

See Lubuntu/Developers/OldTasksAndSchedules old tasks and schedule from previous releases.

Meetings

Project Day : general chat, discussion and decision (if needed), work done since the last Project Day, work items, and planning for the next weeks.

Bug Day : Report, triage, fix bugs. Documentation : Create and fix documentation.

Organisation of those days are still not finished, but I think it's important to add them in the schedule.
