I think that everybody is already looking forward to the next edition.<\/p>\n<p>I met lots of people, and it was great to be able to finally put faces on names from the french free software community.  I gave two talk there, the first one on <i>Debian and Ubuntu<\/i> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.loria.fr\/~lnussbau\/files\/minidebconfparis2010-debian-ubuntu.pdf\">slides<\/a>), the second one on <i>Debian Quality Assurance<\/i> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.loria.fr\/~lnussbau\/files\/minidebconfparis2010-debian-qa.pdf\">slides<\/a>), which both went well (I think).<\/p>\n<p>I also hacked a bit:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I added tags and &#8220;claimed by&#8221; to <a href=\"http:\/\/udd.debian.org\/bugs.cgi\">UDD Bugs Search<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>I worked on <a href=\"http:\/\/svn.debian.org\/wsvn\/collab-qa\/debcluster\/scripts\/tasks\/instest.rb\">my piuparts replacement<\/a> (which really needs a sexy name ; I&#8217;m open to suggestions), processing the results, making some improvements to the script, and filing 16 RC bugs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you want to help me, here are some easy tasks that need takers (it&#8217;s unlikely that I&#8217;ll be able to tackle them anytime soon):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><del datetime=\"2010-11-01T09:58:55+00:00\">One missing thing in UDD Bugs Search is information about the deferred\/delayed queue. Unfortunately, the <a href=\"http:\/\/ftp-master.debian.org\/deferred.html\">ftp-masters&#8217; status information<\/a> is not available in a machine-parseable format.<\/del>\n<ul>\n<li><del datetime=\"2010-11-01T09:58:55+00:00\">Improve dak code to also export the data in a machine-parseable format (JSON, YAML). I was told the changes are to be done in <code>dak\/show_deferred.py<\/code>.<\/del><\/li>\n<li><del datetime=\"2010-11-01T09:58:55+00:00\">Write the corresponding UDD importer (actually, that&#8217;s a 30 mins job for me, so I could easily find time to do it if the data was available).<\/del><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Update: done!<\/b><\/li>\n<li>Another missing thing is comments (as on bts.turzimmer.net). I don&#8217;t really have good ideas about how to implement them, so if you want to tackle that with your own idea, go ahead. (It&#8217;s probably easy to setup a copy of bugs.cgi on alioth if you are not a DD). The CGI is in Ruby.<\/li>\n<li>Help me process the logs of my piuparts replacement, and file the bugs. I don&#8217;t have any good scripts to automate bug filings yet. You need a good understanding of packages dependencies and maintainers scripts, but it&#8217;s a good way to learn, too. (I would need to regenerate the full results first, so talk to me if you are interested)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One of the other things I&#8217;d like to do is discuss ways to improve the synchronization of UDD (currently, it&#8217;s synchronized at arbitrary times, while we could sync Sources+Packages just after dinstall, for example).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I&#8217;m (almost) back from the first edition of MiniDebConf Paris, which was a success thanks to the great organizing skills in panic mode of Carl Chenet and Mehdi Dogguy.
