Hi all,

I have been part of the group for a short time - still getting my head
around some aspects.

However, two packages that I uploaded indicated that they are in some *Request for Upload* stream.

*libintl-perl* still shows Peter Eisentraut, and has upstream changes to address
*libtest-fitesque-perl* is a new package and stops
libtest-fitesque-rdf-perl

I did some searching on the Debian Perl Group pages, but have not found any details on how to get them uploaded.

How do I get these packages in the upload stream processed?


I guess this would not happen if I was a DD, so it would be appreciated if someone could also provide a link / explain what is needed to become a DD.


I have my PGP key, so also wondering whether all email should include same
or just selected emails - if so what governs inclusion?
I have updated Git local and origin, and starting to exchange keys to build
Web of Trust.
Would be happy to engage others to exchange keys.

Please advise

Regards

No problem.

However, two packages that I uploaded indicated that they are in some *Request for Upload* stream.

*libintl-perl* still shows Peter Eisentraut, and has upstream changes to address
*libtest-fitesque-perl* is a new package and stops

I did some searching on the Debian Perl Group pages, but have not found any details on how to get them uploaded.

Basically, a DD from Debian Perl group should review your work and upload the package (or get back to you with improvement suggestions)

How do I get these packages in the upload stream processed?

A mail like this one is the right way. Although the title of the mail should indicate that your requesting a review.

Also, you should provide links to let people download your work. A link to the git repo on salsa is enough.

I guess this would not happen if I was a DD, so it would be appreciated if someone could also provide a link / explain what is needed to become a DD.

please see https://wiki.debian.org/DebianDeveloper/JoinTheProject

In any case, you need to become familiar with the project and its practices before applying. Updating Perl packages is a good way to do it. I did start this way 10 years ago.

I have my PGP key, so also wondering whether all email should include same
or just selected emails - if so what governs inclusion?

Err, I've not understood your question

I have updated Git local and origin, and starting to exchange keys to build Web of Trust.
Would be happy to engage others to exchange keys.

See https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2020/09/msg00000.html

Hope this helps

Nitpick, in order to promote our dpt-* scripts in pkg-perl-tools: The
package name will be enough in most cases, as

dpt checkout $package

works in many cases.

I'm sorry for having dropped the ball on some (private and/or
on-the-list) conversations around the packages you were working on.

However, two packages that I uploaded indicated that they are in some *Request
for Upload* stream.

We currently have no really good system for requestion uploads /
making it easy for DDs to spot packages in need of a review/upload.
(Back in the days we had PET for that purpose.)

What we have is:
- https://tracker.debian.org/teams/pkg-perl/ (which apparently still
has no "ready for upload" section)
- DMD, the UDD-backed maintainer dashboard:
https://udd.debian.org/dmd/?email1=pkg-perl-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
which also provides an RSS feed which I'm using (but I might miss
things there because it's noisy)
- watching #debian-perl-changes (which I also do but ever more noise)
- asking on the list or on IRC in #debian-perl

Please note that both for DMD and humans looking at a repo, the
distribution in debian/changelog must be changed from UNRELEASED to
unstable (or other suites) to show that a package is ready and no
longer WIP.

Summary (for you and other non-DDs): if noone picks up a package in
need of review, feel free to ask here on the list or on IRC.

I have my PGP key, so also wondering whether all email should include same
or just selected emails - if so what governs inclusion?

Personally I'm signing all my emails (as long as I send them from my
laptop which has the private key) but that's a matter of taste.

I have updated Git local and origin, and starting to exchange keys to build Web of Trust.
Would be happy to engage others to exchange keys.

Let's hope there will be physical meetings again in the not so
distant future, which can also be used for keysigning.


Cheers,
gregor
