Regarding MOTU FAQ

Hi team,

With regards to  the above subject, there was a discussion in one of
MOTU sessions in UDS about updating/cleaning up the present MOTU FAQ
page.

So I have come up with the content as in the below page

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/FAQ/New_Draft

Any suggestions/comments/additions welcome

Regards and Thanks,

Reinstated MOTU Meetings

Hello everybody,

at UDS we decided to hold MOTU meetings again. For now we will meet
every 2nd and 4th Thursday in #ubuntu-meeting at 16:00 UTC.

The first one this cycle is going to be at

  24th May, 16:00 UTC

and we hope to see you all there.

We will use these meetings to coordinate development activities
throughout the cycle and give development sub-teams a venue to give
updates and coordinate their work.

If you'd like to bring up a topic for discussion, please add it to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Meetings

Have a great day,
 Daniel

MediaWiki package maintainers: please join mediawiki-distributors

Executive Summary:

Please join mediawiki-distributors
(https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-distributors)
so that we can work more closely together to make a better, more secure
MediaWiki package.

Details:

Last week, one of the maintainers for Fedora's MediaWiki package
opened a bug about licensing issues with different parts of the MediaWiki
package (see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/36747).

The problem has been addressed, but I'd like to use this opportunity to
start working more closely with MediaWiki packagers from all Linux
distribution packagers.  Daniel Zahn has been scanning existing MediaWiki
installations (http://wikistats.wmflabs.org/) and we've found an
incredible number of sites with old, probably insecure installations.

In the past we (MediaWiki hackers) have discouraged people from using
packages provided by Linux distributions since they were out of date or
worked sub-optimally.  We felt people who used packages were not getting
the most out of their MediaWiki installation.

While this may have been true, it has left a huge number of MediaWiki
installations out-of-date and not likely to be upgraded soon or at all.

To get around this problem, I'd like to start working more closely with
packagers of MediaWiki for different Linux distributions.  My hope is
that we can then ask people to install a MediaWiki package with their

TOR package update !

sks 1.1.3

Hi,

At the moment, nobody seems to care about the bugs for this package for
Ubuntu:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/sks/+bugs

I am on the SKS developer mailing list and posted a SKS 1.1.3 patch for
Debian/Ubuntu so that it should be easy to create a package now.
If you are interested in an up-to-date package for Debian, please get
this patch for SKS 1.1.3:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/sks-devel/2012-05/msg00018.html

Let me know if you need help.

Cheers
Jens

git-dch version formatting

I'm attempting to take a git repo (private, unfortunately) and turn it into a package.  As I go, I'm borrowing
liberally from a pre-existing package here.

The command that I'd dearly love to get working is:
git-dch --verbose  --auto --ignore-branch --debian-branch=master --snapshot --id-length=8
--snapshot-number=${BUILD_NUMBER} 

However, almost any invocation of git-dch throws: Version 1.0 not found

My change log entry reads:
packagename (1.0) lucid; urgency=low

  * Initial release. I suspect there will be many more.

What magic am I missing here?
