[18:16] <bregma> hey folk, I have some bugs nominated for SRU into 14.04, but the next step seems to be converting the nomination into a bug task -- and there doesn't seem to be any documented mechanism for that other than "the Ubuntu drivers will notice and accept or reject the nomination" which doesn't happen |
|
[18:17] <bregma> is it really a "who you know" thing now? |
|
[19:06] <rbasak> bregma: the right place to ask is here. It's documented in step 4 of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure although I think IRC is probably quicker and easier. |
|
[19:07] * rbasak edits the page |
|
[19:07] <bregma> well, that documents talks about nominating the bugs, which they already are |
|
[19:08] <rbasak> People here can check and accept them too. |
|
[19:09] <rbasak> Or the uploader, or SRU team member, can do it. I wouldn't consider an SRU upload to be blocked on having the nomination accepted. |
|
[19:12] <bregma> but the documented procedure says to mark the bug task status should be changed to In Progress, which is challenging to do without a bug task -- unless I change one of the other bug tasks, which makes no sense to me |
|
[19:13] <rbasak> Why don't you try asking someone to approve your nomination? |
|
[19:14] <rbasak> The reason it generally has never been a problem is because the rare person who has a problem just asks, and someone fixes it. |
|
[19:14] <bregma> also, the documentation does not say how to notify the SRU team about the bug -- I would assume they need to be subscribed, but it just doesn't say |
|
[19:15] <bregma> and yes, I do "just know someone" to ask, but I don't recall Ubuntu being such an inside-cabal-only distribution |
|
[19:17] <rbasak> The SRU team doesn't need to be subscribed. They look in the unapproved queue (through a report), and the upload will end up there via your sponsor. You do need to subscribe the sponsorship team, details of which are in the "get a sponsor" link. |
|
[19:18] <rbasak> You don't need to "know someone". You can just ask here, which you still haven't done. It's as if you're trying to make the process difficult for yourself. |
|
[19:19] <rbasak> Or you can email ubuntu-devel-discuss for help if you wish. |
|
[19:21] <rbasak> I do agree that the documentation can be improved. You seem to best understand what's wrong with the documentation, so would you mind fixing it? It's a wiki. |
