So I have come up with the content as in the below page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/FAQ/New_Draft Any suggestions/comments/additions welcome Regards and Thanks, </pre> Bhavani Shankar R 2012-05-21T17:08:31 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.motu/7175 <pre>Hello everybody, at UDS we decided to hold MOTU meetings again. For now we will meet every 2nd and 4th Thursday in #ubuntu-meeting at 16:00 UTC. The first one this cycle is going to be at 24th May, 16:00 UTC and we hope to see you all there. We will use these meetings to coordinate development activities throughout the cycle and give development sub-teams a venue to give updates and coordinate their work. If you'd like to bring up a topic for discussion, please add it to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Meetings Have a great day, Daniel </pre> Daniel Holbach 2012-05-21T13:36:45 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.motu/7173 <pre>Executive Summary: Please join mediawiki-distributors (https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-distributors) so that we can work more closely together to make a better, more secure MediaWiki package. Details: Last week, one of the maintainers for Fedora's MediaWiki package opened a bug about licensing issues with different parts of the MediaWiki package (see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/36747). The problem has been addressed, but I'd like to use this opportunity to start working more closely with MediaWiki packagers from all Linux distribution packagers. Daniel Zahn has been scanning existing MediaWiki installations (http://wikistats.wmflabs.org/) and we've found an incredible number of sites with old, probably insecure installations. In the past we (MediaWiki hackers) have discouraged people from using packages provided by Linux distributions since they were out of date or worked sub-optimally. We felt people who used packages were not getting the most out of their MediaWiki installation. While this may have been true, it has left a huge number of MediaWiki installations out-of-date and not likely to be upgraded soon or at all. To get around this problem, I'd like to start working more closely with packagers of MediaWiki for different Linux distributions. My hope is that we can then ask people to install a MediaWiki package with their package manager and be confident that it will remain (relatively) secure. I set up the mediawiki-distributors mailing list (https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-distributors) for this coordination. It should be This list should be very low volume and be directly related to the issues of those who package and distribute MediaWiki. You should feel free to post about any problems you come across packaging MediaWiki, but I'll try to keep all discussion on-topic. I'm interested in your thoughts. </pre> Mark A.

My question to you: * How goes this version to be released in the ubuntu repository for 12.04? * What I do make this happen? I can do a manual installing of it, but I think it should be automated via repository so no other person becomes trouble with th eold version.

Actually, we made the same request for the Debian package and it is resolved here http://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/libxnvctrl0/download. We need this library to be used with the HWLOC library, since the current library libXNVCtrl.a is not compiled with the -fPIC flag. Please update us asap.

Instead of twiddling your thumbs, how about helping out the (unseeded*) universe? We have just over a day until the Unseeded Universe Final Freeze, which happens tomorrow (24/04/12). You might like to Fix / triage RC bugs that were reported in Debian but aren't known to be fixed in Ubuntu yet. http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/bugs/rcbugs/ Fix FTBFS discovered by the recent archive rebuild. If these can be fixed by syncing in new revisions from Debian that include new features then the release team are usually willing to accommodate. http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~wgrant/rebuild-ftbfs-test/test-rebuild-20120328-precise.html Review the sponsorship list for things which we should squeeze into Universe for the release. http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/sponsoring/ I'll try and make myself available for sponsorship and release questions in #ubuntu-motu over the course of today and tomorrow. I hope others will join me. YEAH.

This team has been existing for as long as Ubuntu has been around and one thing we've been doing since the early days is: being there for new contributors and bringing them into the fold. In my mind this is (among many others of course) the most important thing MOTU has contributed to Ubuntu. Not limited to my personal assessment above, I'd still like to hear from you (no matter if you're a MOTU old-timer or a new contributor) is what do you feel we do well and what do you feel we should change? The feedback should be a good preparation for a MOTU session at UDS. I'm looking forward to your answers and thanks a lot for your great work on the team!

I read some time ago this mail&lt;https://lists.launchpad.net/unity-design/msg08430.html&gt;in which Michael Hall started writing a list of applications with the icon in low resolution and every application in the list, the link to the related bug in launchpad. I saw that rapidsvn was suffering from this "problem", so I added rapidsvn to the list, i opened a bug&lt;https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rapidsvn/+bug/970218&gt;on launchpad and started to draw an icon for rapidsvn in svg format. After a day I finished the first version of the icon, so I attached it to the bug I opened, but nobody seems to care for it. I looked for the maintainer of the rapidsvn package and I found you. I wrote you this mail to ask you if it's possible to add the svg icon to rapidsvn package in order to have a nice and hi-res icon for this application, this operation shouldn't create new bug or problems, but make rapidsvn a bit more eye candy. Sorry for my poor English Keep on your good work ;) </pre> Michele Giacomoli 2012-04-16T22:11:12 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.motu/7138 <pre>C-Kermit needs a rebuild to match SSL 1.0.1.

Debian testing already seems to use 1.8.8. The reason why I am asking is simple: I am working for DESY (a Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Hamburg, Germany) on a high performance data format based on HDF5. Unfortunately HDF5 shows really bad performance at least until version 1.8.6. Thus I hade to bake my own Packages for HDF5 1.8.8 for Ubuntu which I would like to get rid of at least for 12.04 and later. Are there, at least, any plans when 1.8.8 will make it into Ubuntu? regards Eugen Wintersberger - -- - --------------------------------------- | DI.

It contains a bunch of flat php files contained within a bunch of subdirectories. There's no compilation needed whatsoever, there's no build script, nothing. I'm attempting to build a $PROJECT/debian directory so that I ultimately wind up with a .deb that does the functional equivalent of this: cp -r ~/sources/$PROJECT /var/$PROJECT Ideally this would bypass the $PROJECT/debian directory; no need for that to become part of the package. I've tried a few things and am somewhat at a loss for as to how best to proceed-- what should the rules and install files look like? I've got the control file fairly well set at this point. Regards.

For tomorrow we would like to have a look at the following TODO lists: - Packages which don’t build anymore (http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/ftbfs/) - Bugs which have been fixed elsewhere (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.status_upstream=resolved_upstream&amp;orderby=-id) If you are a new contributor to Ubuntu and interested in getting involved, you are invited to hang out with us in #ubuntu-motu tomorrow, where we are going to answer all your questions, help you get started and review your code for you. The only thing you need to do is read the following articles on http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/: Introduction to Ubuntu Development, Getting Set Up, Fixing a bug in Ubuntu. This should give you a rough idea of how things work. Please give us feedback (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-packaging-guide/+filebug) if you have suggestions for the guide. You're obviously invited to read more. :-) If you are a more experienced Ubuntu developer, please join #ubuntu-motu, put on your Sunday best, help answer questions and contributors who are stuck. This will also be a good opportunity for us to review our Sponsoring backlog. I'm looking forward to tomorrow and seeing you all!
