[Pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers] Re: Debian Ruby Extras Etch To Do

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Hi,

Paul blogged about his TODO list for the team[0].

[0] http://paul.luon.net/journal/debian/DebianRubyExtrasEtchToDo.html

Even if I'm a big fan of RSS feeds and planets, I think that it would be better to discuss such stuff on the mailing list. I'm answering here.

The BTS doesn't list any open bug. It would be great to file bugs
against the package so we know what is broken: it's a bit difficult to
track currently.

Status for my packages:

* librmagick-ruby needs an upload (new upstream version, routine stuff)

* feed2imap has two bugs (1 normal, 1 wishlist). Paul contributed a
patch for both of them, which I included in the next release, but the
release is not really ready yet. I'll see what I can do, but I'd prefer
to release etch with the current testing version, instead of risking to
break some stuff.

libtermios-ruby needs an upload. It's one of damog's packages, formerly
QA-maintained.

> Take over the packages put up for adaption by Damog.

I had a look at them, but there's nothing I'm using.

That's going to be hard, given that it has to go through NEW first. If
we really want it into etch, we should work on this NOW. How do we
proceed ? Paul, do you want to be "mainly responsible" for this package
?
