| bandali | hi, i'm a DD and i'd like to start contributing directly to devuan as well, e.g. help with maintenance of devuan-specific bits of packages and merging latest changes from debian, improve consistency of package sources, etc. | 03:54 |
|---|---|---|
| bandali | packaging tasks like helping with virt-manager not being installable right now due to latest python3-libvirt needing libvirt0 (>= 10.1.0) but libvirt needing a manual merge | 03:57 |
| mason | bandali++ | 04:01 |
| mason | bandali: There are weekly meetings, on Thursdays, and you'd be welcome to attend. Also, there are mailing lists, and you can spin up a git account as needed. | 04:01 |
| golinux | Welcome, bandali! | 04:02 |
| golinux | Any questions, just ask | 04:03 |
| bandali | thanks mason and golinux :) i do already have an account on git.devuan.org. i suppose i could start by forking packages i'd like to work on, then get in touch with their current maintiner(s) to pull in my changes | 04:04 |
| bandali | and indeed, i shall subscribe to the main lists shortly as well | 04:05 |
| golinux | Like wicd maybe? | 04:05 |
| bandali | does wicd need help/work? i don't really use it myself. the example i had in mind is with libvirt which i mentioned above | 04:06 |
| golinux | Needs porting to python3 | 04:06 |
| bandali | ah - i meant more in terms of helping with packaging and helping ensure overall consistency of the archive and packages being installable, rather than e.g. working on porting specific pieces of software from python 2 to 3 | 04:08 |
| golinux | That would make a lot of people here very happy but you have to do what suits you, of course. | 04:08 |
| golinux | Just had to ask because it gets mentioned so many times. | 04:09 |
| bandali | ack :) | 04:09 |
| golinux | :) | 04:11 |
| bandali | re wicd, from a quick look it seems like amesser (who happens to also maintain libvirt in devuan) had started working on porting it to python 3. i'd be curious to hear their thoughts and the state of their efforts | 04:11 |
| golinux | Yes. There have been a few who poked it but . . . | 04:12 |
| golinux | Anyway . . . I'm off for the night. | 04:14 |
| * golinux waves . . . | 04:14 | |
| bandali | o/ | 04:18 |
| bandali | i better hit the hay as well | 04:18 |
