DocScrutinizer05"decide on what's going into Stable..."  hmm, seems that offers more freedom than there actually is00:34
DocScrutinizer05maybe better reword that to "find out what may go into Stable, based on the paradigm of Stable and the tests that a particular package has passed..."00:36
merlin1991DocScrutinizer05: the maintainer has the ultimate end word, he/she "decides" whatever independend of all other opinions because only the maintainer has the upload rights ...01:03
DocScrutinizer05sure, but to *become* maintainer you need a thorough understanding about the limitations in your free choice01:09
DocScrutinizer05as in "Stable is well defined as the tested and bugfree version of Trsting"01:10
DocScrutinizer05it's  not like the maintainer has the free choice to redefine this, by packing into Stable whatever s/he feels would be leete stuff to get in01:11
DocScrutinizer05one *pretty* obvious rule: Stable packages are ex-Testing packages01:11
DocScrutinizer05no package goes into Stable that not been tasted in Testing before01:12
DocScrutinizer05tested*01:12
DocScrutinizer05tasted is also fine ;-)01:12
bencohTasty-ng ? :)01:13
DocScrutinizer05thus the degrees of freedom in any decision the Stable maintainer does are quite defined and limited01:16
DocScrutinizer05the tmo post sounds a tad different01:16
*** edshin has quit IRC01:19
DocScrutinizer05maybe "... decides on go/nogo for any packages the CSSU team suggests for inclusion to Stable, based on reports about results of testing that s/he gathers from CSSU team as well as users of CSSU-T"01:19
DocScrutinizer05I'd feel better when *you* had the ultimate word in all CSSU, rather than two independent maintainers competing who's got the... long... err leeter ideas01:22
*** nox- has joined #maemo-ssu01:22
DocScrutinizer05in a team you need a clear hierarchy, even when it doesn't take effect in day to day business01:22
DocScrutinizer05I wouldn't want to see CSSU-S drift away from CSSU-T01:23
DocScrutinizer05and actually this also somewhat mitigates the qualification requirements, since CSSU-S maintainer regularly only needs to duplicate what already been done for CSSU-T01:25
DocScrutinizer05and the "decision" is manly just *when* to do this copy01:27
DocScrutinizer05mainly*01:27
DocScrutinizer05and on this decision it feels natural in my book when CSSU-S maintainer decides but CSSU-* chief maintainer has a veto in that (the latter being you obviously)01:29
DocScrutinizer05we had it this way when chemist took over maintentance of CSSU-S, iirc01:30
kerioi'll do it! first thing: cp -r cssu-testing/* cssu-thumb/* cssu-stable01:33
DocScrutinizer05exactly what I'm concerned about. Thanks kerio ;-)01:33
keriolet it be on record that DocScrutinizer05 refused my offer of my services and expertise01:34
kerioi have a question, actually01:35
keriocan't we make cssu-stable be the cssu-testing of 2 major versions before?01:35
keriokinda like debian does01:36
merlin1991nope01:36
merlin1991because ie qt h-d and other depend on each other01:36
merlin1991since like 3 releases01:37
merlin1991but01:37
merlin1991we have known bugs ...01:37
merlin1991kerio: if you feel up to the task, suggest yourself01:37
merlin1991or rather volunteer yourself01:41
merlin1991personally I fear nobody is going to show up, which isn't so bad in theory, because since t7 I keep the files, so I can just pick the right files, make a new metapackage and write a changelog to fulfill the minimum requirements, but I'd still rather see a dedicated maintainer ...01:47
* DocScrutinizer05 sits in front of his magic caldron, trowing in chunks of meritocracy, anacho-syndicalism, a few drops of true pure democracy, and evil dark bitter incense straight from Shanghai, in a futile effort to match the flavor of what's keeping CSSU running01:49
DocScrutinizer05maybe a few drops chaos?01:51
DocScrutinizer05;-)01:51
DocScrutinizer05aaah much closer already01:51
merlin1991;-)01:53

sixwheeledbeastYes I still want to help (I too wonder if anyone else will), however I need to make sure I am upto the task. I have only ever sent qt packages to the autobuilder. I have built a clean sb, and signed up to git but haven't had time to look any further.10:12
