From 8e9ca36b493f91245351b589e44f6679cca4937d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sean Finney Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2008 18:28:19 +0200 Subject: more TODO cut/paste from email --- TODO | 41 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 41 insertions(+) diff --git a/TODO b/TODO index 3230e06..226830d 100644 --- a/TODO +++ b/TODO @@ -89,3 +89,44 @@ General stuff: Once packages.d.o links to it, this really needs announcing widely; LWN at the least, might want to talk about it on the debian-publicity list first though. + + + +from joss: + + +I think you could get bonus points for using different colors for +co-maintained packages – although I don’t need this personally, I think +this will be appreciated by others. + +... + +Patches in the quilt series and dpatch formats, and sometimes those in +the simple-patchsys format as well, have often comments at the top of +the file. It would be very nice to see them in the patch summary, +together with the diffstat. + + + +from azeem: + + +there are some maintainer overview pages like +http://patch-tracking.debian.net/email/pkg-gnome-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org +have a high number of packages. However, not all of them have patches +to the upstream source in them and there is no indication on the +overview page for which this is the case. Thus upstream people have to +click on every package/version link and check for themselves. On top of +that, it is not immediately clear that there are no upstream patches and +people might just click on the Debian dir patch and wonder, see +http://www.mail-archive.com/desktop-devel-list@gnome.org/msg14030.html + +I propose to make it visually clear that a given package/version has no +upstream patches by either coloring the link differently or somehow +otherwise differentiating the two. A useful heuristic could be: + +15:02 < seanius> so basically you mean to look for any changes including + ".", excluding "./debian", and including "./debian/patches" + +Everything else is probably broken packaging and not worth the hassle. + -- cgit v1.2.3
