Debian NMU Sprint Thursday, June 6th 17:00 UTC!

I am hoping to schedule some Non-Maintainer Uploads (NMU) sprints,
starting with two thursdays from now...

Planning on meeting on irc.oftc.net in the #debian-reproducible channel
at 17:00UTC and going for an hour or two or three. Feel free to start
early or stay late, or even fix things on some other day!

We will have one or more Debian Developers available to sponsor uploads,
so even if you can't upload yourself but you know how to build a debian
package, please join us!


Unapplied patches:

  https://udd.debian.org/bugs/?release=sid&patch=only&pending=ign&merged=ign&done=ign&reproducible=1

This list is sorted by the oldest bugs with patches not marked pending,
so we can target bugs that have just stalled out for whatever reason,
but feel free to pick bugs that scratch your particular itch.

We will want to make sure the patch still applies and/or refresh the
patches, make sure it still solves the issue, and update the bug report
where appropriate.


Documentation about performing NMUs:

  https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#nmu

We will be uploading the to the DELAYED queue (presumably between 10 and
15 days).


If the package has been orphaned we can generally upload without delay
(check the https://tracker.debian.org/PACKAGE page which usually lists
this) and mark it as maintained by "Debian QA Group
<packages at qa.debian.org>" if needed.

If you are impatient, try fixing QA packages, as you can upload fixes
without delays:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/unstable/amd64/pkg_set_maint_debian-qa.html


Let's fix some bugs!


live well,
