RCBW - #25

Last (long) week has finally passed: first in Geneve visiting Gismo, then in Sierre/Crans-Montana to present a paper at SAC 2010, then back in Paris for half a day before a day in Bruxelles for the 2nd year Mancoosi project review. (And of course campaigning has always been going on ...) All went fine and I can finally relax a bit for a week-end back "home" (i.e. Paris).

Regarding RCBW, it looks like that in the past 2 months I've stabilized around 3 issues per month, which makes me happy nevertheless. Without any further ado, here are this weekissue's squashes:

Debian bug #570727 - xmldiff - fix tree comparison (on i386), patch by Daiki Ueno

Debian bug #574640 - turbogears2 - ensure compatibility with new routes, patch by Piotr Ożarowski

Debian bug #574083 - wwwoffle - add missing dep on net-tools, needed by init.d script

Debian bug #555036 - bash-completion-lib - RM/RoQA/ROM (see Debian bug #575260)

Debian bug #574228 - mediamate - request RM/RoQA (see Debian bug #575508)

Debian bug #574025 - mathgl - switch to octave3.2 (bonus: QA upload w/ proper orphaning)

Debian bug #482790 - elserv - fix emacs deps wrt current emacsen flavours (malus: fought with cdbs' DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_DEBIAN_CONTROL)

Random points:

Up and downs in the "RCBW community": gregoa rock's (as usual) whereas Lucas is subverting the rules! (bad Lucas, bad).

Some of the side comments by Gregor made me realize that I have probably chosen the wrong tagline/acronym for RCBW, as the point is not really keeping a sustained average (or feel bad about not keeping it), but rather doing that "constantly" in some available Debian time slots, as well as trying having others do the same.

Clint has commented on BSPs also mentioning RCBW. (I mention en passant that I've never claimed RCBW to be innovative, as my kudos show; my memory is short though, I'll be happy to integrate the list with pointers to similar initiative more far in the past.) The idea of newbie/teaching-oriented BSPs is just wonderful, it only needs some motivated people to (continue) organizing them.
