    Philipp Kern: Wrapping up Sarge into a nice package

    We escorted Sarge to its last home. 3.1r8 is done, thanks to all the people who made it possible. A big thanks goes to James Troup, our ftpmaster of the day doing all the grunt work of getting a new point release out of the door. To bring in a more personal feeling of who makes this all possible, here is a list of people contributing uploads to 3.1r8 (mostly people from our fabulous Security Team): I would also like to thank dann frazier, Luk Claes, Martin Zobel-Helas and Neil McGovern for helping with the preparation of the point release.

    Meike Reichle: Yay, I'm through

    Since yesterday I am through with my NM procedure. Looking back I get to the same conclusion as probably most NMs have: not overly hard, but time-consuming and glad to have it over with. Anyway, so far so good, just waiting for DAM approval and my account now. There are still a couple of people in front of me but I hope for another processing before the elections close. (I guess it would at least be good for the turnout.) For now, many thanks to my Application Manager Andreas Barth who has been very responsive and always answered my mails quickly and thoroughly, and also to Martin Zobel-Helas for advocating me.

    Julian Andres Klode: uploads and machine-readable copyright


    Two days ago, zobel uploaded some of my package updates for me. One of them was ndisgtk 0.8.1, which adds more translations and fixes some problems. I intent to create a 0.9 release soon, with support for PolicyKit. I will upload the release candidate of this version to Debian experimental and Ubuntu Hardy. The other upload was readahead-list 1:1.20060421.1016-1, which I found on the Gentoo mirrors, but not where previous releases were located. This is OK, because the upstream author is a Gentoo developer and uploaded this tarball himself. I already requested to sync this release into Ubuntu Hardy, to reduce the diff between both distributions. In both uploads, I changed the format of debian/copyright to match http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/CopyrightFormat. I will also change my other packages in their next uploads, and hope that other maintainers also use the new format, especially for NEW packages. I some cases (especially when you are upstream + packager), this format is also shorter.

    Cord Beermann: Spamwaves on Lists or 'oops, i did it again'

    Just a quick note:

    while wading through the list-archives, drop-boxes and list-configuration to find false positives and possiblities to optimise our mailinglists spam level i accidently removed the inclusion of our spamfilters from most lists.

    I appologise for this.

    Luckily zobel discovered my error and fixed it at 14:30 CET.

    Julian Andres Klode: Bye, 2007 - Welcome 2008!


    April 2007, I joined the Fellowship of the Free Software Foundation Europe. I also became involved in the development of Debian GNU/Linux with my first package, aufs, sponsored by Daniel Baumann. This was the starting point for my Debian stuff. Now I maintain 6 packages in Debian. One of the most interesting packages is gnome-app-install, which will be part of the gnome-desktop task (already added to tasksel’s list). Users will be able to install applications easily. It also activates the automatic codec installation, so users will be able to play most multimedia files easily. 30th December, I finally got assigned my AM, Martin Zobel-Helas (zobel), and I’m happy to be able to continue the NM process now. On the Ubuntu side, some things have happened, too. I merged several new versions of dir2ogg and a new aufs version, and became an Ubuntu Member on the 29th November. In 2008, I plan to complete the New Maintainer process and become an Ubuntu MOTU. I will continue my packaging stuff, and will merge new features from Debian to Ubuntu and from Ubuntu to Debian. A happy new year to everyone and sorry for blogging this such late.

    Martin Zobel-Helas: [volatile] SA 3.2.3 available for testing

    Thanks to the outstanding work of Stephen Gran SpamAssassin 3.2.3-0.volatile1 is now available in etch-proposed/volatile. Before we accept it to etch/volatile i would like to ask some experienced SysAdmins to do some (more extended testing as we did) of the package and report back any problems you find to debian-volatile@lists.debian.org. As soon as we are convinced that SA 3.2.3 works as expected, I will move the package to etch/volatile and send an official announcement. Please consider that this upgrade might break your system, so you upgrade at your own risk. Thanks in advance for all the feedback you will send us.

    Martin Zobel-Helas: Removing spam from Debian s mailinglist archive

    Listmaster Thomas Viehmann wrote (IMHO) a very good summary for a policy on how to proceed with spam in the public archives of the Debian mailing lists. Some of them might need further discussions. Please help the listmasters and write your own ideas and opinions about his proposal. Also many thanks to Frans Pop, who first drafted some of them listmaster-internally quite a while ago.

    Martin Zobel-Helas: Will Marc become DPL?

    Marc wrote:
    It’s this time of the year again: The one where I look back at my involvement in the project and decide that I’ve been a member long enough, so I should probably get out. For Debian, there are two ways to do it: Either become MIA or become DPL. […] So, what do you think? Marc, do you care what i think? If yes, here is my opinion: You really should run for DPL. I have the hope that you will be a very good DPL. Side note: Did the campaigning period start already?

    Martin Zobel-Helas: Debian Sarge 3.1r7 frozen

    After tonights dinstall run, we will freeze 3.1r7 for sourcefull uploads, unless someone has a very good reason for another package inclusion for oldstable. Adventureous admins (who have also a backup of their systems) might want to try to add olstable-proposed-updates to their /etc/apt/sources.list and try to upgrade. Please report any problems to the debian-release@lists.debian.org mailing list.
