Patch pilot report 2011-09-08

[Didier Roche]

Hey,

Some notes from today's patch piloting:


https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/simple-ccsm/+bug/835743
-> enable building simple-ccsm, but the 0.8 version won't work with 
compiz 0.9, asking for checking upstream if there is a new version

https://code.launchpad.net/~3v1n0/nautilus/ubuntu-unity-launcher-support/+merge/74401
-> looks good and works well, sponsored

https://code.launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/language-selector/oneiric/+merge/73965
-> approved, asked for a UIFe, teams +1 the change, sponsored

https://code.launchpad.net/~rodrigo-moya/ubuntu/oneiric/system-config-printer/fix-842092/+merge/74394
-> seems it was sponsored but the branch wasn't used. Set as "merged"

https://code.launchpad.net/~jtaylor/ubuntu/oneiric/powermanga/fix-771039/+merge/74218
-> changed slightly the patch (to patch Makefile.am as well in case we 
run autoreconf one day) and sponsored. Asked to forward it upstream as 
well (which was promptly done!).

https://code.launchpad.net/~florian-brandes/ubuntu/oneiric/qc-usb/fix-for-770745/+merge/74389
-> update maintainer and comment on the merge how to do so. Directly 
sent the fix upstream as well.

https://code.launchpad.net/~jtaylor/ubuntu/oneiric/slurm/fix-832924/+merge/74307
-> debian maintainer aware (and there is a debian mentoring request for 
changing the build system to use scon). Sponsoring this less intrusive 
change for now and we can sync back next cycle.

https://code.launchpad.net/~paulbrianstewart/ubuntu/oneiric/conduit/840709-Spelling-Grammar-Errors-Fix/+merge/73981
https://code.launchpad.net/~paulbrianstewart/ubuntu/oneiric/enna/840093-Spelling-Grammar-Fix/+merge/73932
https://code.launchpad.net/~paulbrianstewart/ubuntu/oneiric/conduit/840709-Spelling-Grammar-Errors-Fix/+merge/73981
-> changes needed to be forwarded to debian (debian/control description) 
and some explanation about the process

The sponsoring queue was huge, most of them due to package importer 
conflict, so I decided to spend some time looking at them.
Most of them are due to the format 3 (quilt) conflict of applying 
patches before autocommiting (set as WIP to unsuscribe them as there is 
still no way to reject them as per bug: https://launchpad.net/bugs/618448
Few of them was due to a missing imported revision apparently.

I kept the most suspicious ones on the list (didn't change their status 
on purpose for further investigation)
