[mlmmj] text template bug in Ubuntu package

[Florian Effenberger]

Hi,

I found out about a text template bug in the Ubuntu (10.04) package.
It says "$orignalmail" instead of "$originalmail", which renders
moderation message quite useless. Anyone working that?

Thanks for the report, Florian,

I found the bug in the German list text. I presume that was the language you were 
referring to?

I have fixed it locally and will push the change out to version control shortly.

It is up to Debian/Ubuntu/Thomas, I think, when/how to get the change into the 
distro's package.

Ben.

Ok, I just gave them a ping.

FYI, I'm *NOT* the official maintainer for MLMMJ. It's still Daniel
Walrond <debian@djw.org.uk>, but I think he lost interest in the package
(please Daniel, if you read, confirm that fact). I've setup an Alioth
project for the packaging, and we are supposed to work together on the
Debian packaging of MLMMJ.

Also, Ubuntu guys seems to be only migrating the package from Debian
SID, and it doesn't seem that anyone is responsible for the package per
say. So if we need to have something updated, it will have to be done in
Debian.

Now, we just missed Maverik, and I have no visibility if there's a way
to have the already released version of Ubuntu updated... I'll try to
have this fix included for Squeeze though.

Yes, correct, Ubuntu doesn't carry any local changes to mlmmj; the
package just gets synced from Debian unstable. Once it's fixed in
unstable, it should get pulled into the development version relatively
shortly, at least before the Debian Import Freeze portion of the
release cycle.

The way to fix things in Maverick (10.10), Lucid (10.04), or
other released version is through a Stable Release Update process,
documented at <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates>. I can
certainly help out on the Ubuntu side of things, if it's considered
an important enough issue to fix.

as we will deploy mlmmj on a large scale in Ubuntu, I'm happy to help
in packaging. Would it be helpful to become Debian maintainer to help
with the process?

What would help is to join the alioth project, and
use the git repository that I setup there to do the
packaging. There's also a mailing list there, so
please join it too. Then we can do the packaging
together (I don't think it's relevant to have a
single person responsible for the MLMMJ package
anymore).

You wont need the DM status, I can upload whenever
we need. The only thing is to work on the Git.

FYI, the project name is pkg-mlmmj ...

sure. How do I do that?

Go to http://alioth.debian.org, then get a new account. If you choose
"username", then you will be granted access with "username-guest". Then
request to join the project pkg-mlmmj, and tell me that you do so, so
that I can approve you in it. Then you should send a mail to
pkg-mlmmj-devel-requests@ to register to the list. You can also clone
the project:

git clone http://git.debian.org/pkg-mlmmj/mlmmj.git

There's currently 4 branches: debian-lenny, debian-sid, upstream-lenny,
 upstream-sid. Each debian-* branch contains only the debian folder. I
don't have a branch for lenny yet, but I should have. Then you can use
git-buildpackage to build it. Something like that would do:

git-buildpackage --git-upstream-branch=upstream-sid \
	--git-debian-branchfibian-sid

Note that currently, we can't send anything to SID, as Squeeze is
frozen. Only updates (eg: bugfixes) for Squeeze has to be sent to the
Git, otherwise, we can upload to Experimental.

When you have a patch, best is to use "git format-patch" and send it to
the list, so that I can review and accept the patch.

Let me know when you have more questions, I'd be happy to answer them.
Maybe best would be to discuss about Debian packaging in the
pkg-mlmmj-devel list...

thanks a lot! I will see into building mlmmj soon, and then hopefully
can contribute packages. :-)
