[cl-debian] ubuntu contacts?
Hello, I've tried in vain getting some sort of relation with the ubuntu MOTU w.r.t. the CL debian packages, but the ubuntu IRC culture seems not to go well with me. Is there someone who knows ubuntu enough to be 'official liaison officer'?

When my CL packages of BESE software [1] entered the last official Ubuntu, I was kindly contacted by Daniel Holbach (cc:ed): AFAIK he's motivated to help. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca PS, Daniel, I hope you don't mind if I cc:ed you, I don't know if you're subscribed or not :-) [1] http://common-lisp.net/project/bese/

What are the problems, you are referring to?

Not at all. If I can, I'm happy to help. Have a nice day, Daniel

Well they are mostly a problem of communication and lack of understanding of ubuntu procedures: - Exactly how are debian updates propagated?: - I see that while clc is pretty current on dapper, clisp or sbcl aren't so current, sbcl is still at some ancient level (1:0.9.2.0-3). How can we fix this? In general, how can we advise what version we think is suitable for a release, esp. with the long live of dapper this seems an important question. - hoary is still at clc 4.12 and is vulnerable to the security problem. How do we fix this? - Where do ubuntu bugs go? I've searched the wiki and other resources, but failed to answer these questions.

In times before Upstream Version Freeze (UVF) [1], source packages are automatically imported from Debian, if no Ubuntu changes exist, in every other case, they have to be merged manually. [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseSchedule

[2] describes the current workflow of the MOTU team on merges, but some investigation shows, that sbcl for example repeatedly FTBFS [3]. Build Logs are linked from [4]. [2] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTUToMerge [3] http://people.ubuntu.com/~lamont/buildLogs/s/sbcl/ [4] http://packages.ubuntu.com

ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com is certainly suitable for these things.
- Where do ubuntu bugs go?
Soon we will do the full transition to [5], but at the moment 'main' packages are still reported in [6]. [5] http://launchpad.net/malone [6] http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com
I've searched the wiki and other resources, but failed to answer these questions.
I hope, I could bring some light into this. Have a nice day, Daniel
