Universe Sponsors Queue

Purpose

The [https://bugs.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-universe-sponsors/+subscribedbugs Universe Sponsors Queue] is used by [:MOTU/Contributing:Contributors] who have not yet been granted upload permission to the Ubuntu archives to submit changes to packages for review. Note that the queue is specific for packages in Universe/Multiverse. For packages in Main/Restricted please refer to the [https://bugs.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-main-sponsors/+subscribedbugs Main Sponsors Queue]. Please remember that:

Notes for Contributors

Before subscribing ubuntu-universe-sponsors to a bug, please check the following:

  • 1 Your patch is in [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff debdiff] format (for merges and bug fixes) or [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Interdiff interdiff] (for new upstream revisions).

    • If it is just a patch against the source, please consider adding the "patch" tag, so that other contributors can easily find the patch and create a debdiff.
    2 The patch is targeted against the current development environment
    • Unless you are processing a [:StableReleaseUpdates#Universe:Stable Release Update], the patch should be against the current development environment. Check https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/packagename to make sure that you are working from the latest sources.

    • Check your .changes file to make sure that you have the right revision and distribution.

    3 All changes in the patch are intentional
    • Review the patch manually. If there are unexpected changes, consider removing them from the patch, either using filterdiff or manually. If you are uncertain, seek advice from #ubuntu-motu or your [:MOTU/Mentoring:Mentor]

    4 Your patch applies cleanly
    • Test your patch by downloading and unpacking the target source, and running patch -p1 < ../patchname.debdiff in the package directory. There should be no errors.

    5 The Status and Assignment are correct
    • The Status should be "New" for sync requests
    • The Status should be "Incomplete" for freeze exceptions
    • The Status should be "Confirmed" for bugs that represent a new candidate revision (e.g. bugfix uploads, merges.) In other words, use Status "Confirmed" when you have uploaded a debdiff that requires attention from a sponsor.
    • The Assignment should be "Nobody"
    6 The sponsors will use the status and assignment fields in their communications with you and other groups
    • Please check status and assignment before subscribing again a bug which required some actions (either from you or somebody else)

Note for Sponsors

Once you have selected a bug, please use the following guidelines for disposition. When selecting bugs, please limit yourself to "New", "Incomplete" and "Confirmed" bugs.

  • All bugs
    • Unsubscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors
    • Assign yourself
    • Set the Status to "In Progress"
  • Bugs against packages in main
    • If unset, set the importance. (default: "Wishlist")
    • If not present, add the "patch" tag
    • Assign "Nobody" and set Status to "Confirmed"
    • Add a comment including the following:
      • That ubuntu-universe-sponsors has been unsubscribed.
      • That the package is in main
      • That ubuntu-main-sponsors has been subscribed to process the request
    • Subscribe ubuntu-main-sponsors
  • Sync request bugs
    • If unset, set the importance. (default: "Wishlist")
    • If not present, add the "sync" tag.
    • If the sync is acceptable
      • Set the Status to "Confirmed"
      • Assign to "Nobody"
      • Add a comment "sync request ACK'd"
      • Subscribe ubuntu-archive
    • If the sync is not acceptable
      • Assign the submitter and set the Status to "Invalid"
      • Add a comment explaining why the sync is not acceptable
  • Bugs with debdiffs
    • If unset, set the importance. (default: "Wishlist")
    • If the debdiff is good
      • Upload the resulting package
      • Update the status to "Fix Committed"
      • Add comment that the fix has been uploaded.
    • If the debdiff is for an SRU, and looks sane, but you are unsure about uploading
      • If the bug is already tagged motu-sru-verification, upload it.
      • Otherwise:
        • Ask in #ubuntu-motu for a second opinion
        • In the absence of a second opinion:
          • Add the motu-sru-verification tag
          • unassign yourself, and set status to "Confirmed"
    • If additional changes to the source are planned (soon)
      • Add comment that you are working on additional changes
      • When complete, upload as usual
    • If the patch needs work
      • Set the Status to "Incomplete"
      • Assign the patch submitter
      • Add a comment including the following:
        • That ubuntu-universe-sponsors has been unsubscribed
        • The specific work that must be done for the patch to be acceptable
        • That the contributor should resubscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors when the changes are complete
  • Bugs Without debdiffs
    • If there is a patch, and no patch tag, add the patch tag
    • Assign "Nobody" and Set status "Confirmed"
    • (optional) Set the Importance
    • Add a comment including the following:
      • That ubuntu-universe-sponsors has been unsubscribed
      • (optional) any notes from reviewing the patch
      • That a debdiff patch should be created prior to resubscribing ubuntu-universe-sponsors

N.B.: normal bug triage rules still apply. Inappropriate bugs should be invalidated. Already fixed bugs should be updated as Released with the release version, etc.
