Hiya,

FWIW: our beloved doc-debian [1] package, which ships stuff like
/usr/share/doc/debian/constitution.txt.gz and
/usr/share/doc/debian/social-contract.txt.gz is another one of those old and
strange (by-hand stuff @ ftp-master, e.g.) packages in need of some extra care.
I don't think I have time to do the necessary updates in time for the freeze...

The work needed consists of interfacing with our infrastructure, no coding or
text drafting necessary.

Bye,

Joost

Hi Jathan,

Sorry, I only now see your reply...

Thanks a lot for your offer to help!

Sure!
If I have the necessary skills to interface with the infrastructure of
doc-debian, maybe I can help in some manual tasks. Tell me what is needed
please

What would be needed is another upload of the doc-debian package, with fresh
content. If it's too late for bookworm now, we might be able to get into the
first point-release. We currently ship e.g. an out of date copy of the DFSG.
Package git repo is currently at https://salsa.debian.org/groups/ddp-team .

I believe Sean didn't get to it yet. Maybe the two of you can coordinate?

Bye,

Joost

I have a bit of a backlog. I'll have to withdraw my offer of help for
now. My apologies.

Fair enough, thanks anyway.

Jathan: I've heard there's still a little bit of time to get new package
releases shipped with bookworm...

Thanks a lot for your last answers Joost! Do I need to update the
package https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/doc-debian or to interface
with the infrastructure of doc-debian in someway?

Regards
Jathan

First thing would be to prepare a new release, possibly from what's now in git,
and upload it.

I thought the team were needing some infrastructure administration help.
So it is needed to prepare a new release doing Debian Packaging of
doc-deian?

Yes, a new release, and ideally long term maintainership of the package. Sorry
for being unclear in my initial request for help.

Hi,

Thanks Sean.

Let me make some comment.

Post by Sean Whitton
Hello,

I can adopt it if you would like. Let me know.

If I understand correctly, we copy webwml source and create source for this deb
package manually in advance. In a oversimplified sense:

source of www.debian.org --> transform to create deb source. --> deb

What is better is create a source deb package as the pristine source and
generate corresponding www.debian.org pages from binary deb package content
files with cron script on www-master.d.o like debian-policy etc. Then updating
is simpler.

deb source package --> deb binary packages --> www.debian.org

Of course, this needs to be agreed by the party updating the constitution in
advance.

Just my thought.

FWIW; I completely agree :)
