From: Matthew Wilcox <willy@ldl.fc.hp.com> To: debian-devel-announce@lists.debian.org Subject: Debian Architecture Bug Squash Party Date: Wed, 04 Jul 2001 09:47:20 -0600 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Announcing the Debian Architecture Bug Squash Party We have the opportunity to include several new architectures in woody -- hppa, ia64, mips and mipsel. So let's have a bugsquash party from Friday, July 13th to Sunday, the 15th to fix the problems they're having across a wide range of packages. Many of the bugs are trivial to fix: outdated config.{sub,guess}, missing Build-Dependencies, simple c++ changes, eliminating #if within printf, and so on. C++ experts and build system / shell scripting experts are particularly welcome, but there's plenty to do for those with less expertise. You don't even need to be a debian developer to help -- patches or clear instructions how to fix problems will always be welcome. If you want to participate, join #debian-bugs on OpenProjects (irc.debian.org, check www.openprojects.net for a full list of servers) anytime during the 13th to 15th of July. Debian developers will be around, they should be able to give clear instructions of what needs to be done. Pay attention to the topic in that channel, as it will always contain useful information about the fixing progress. - -- It's always legal to use Linux (TM) systems http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-free.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjtDOY8ACgkQIhjIHo58A//cwwCgn+og6j5H8RmwVAXvI+1q2Yrn XW0An2dsxXwJV4s0glWv9i8mPaX8ymm+ =jr4E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-announce-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
