Introduction about recent debexpo (mentors.debian.net)

I've make a presentation about "How to hack debexpo (mentors.debian.net)" at Tokyo Debian (local Debian meeting) 21, November 2020.

Here is the agenda about presentation.

  • What is mentors.debian.net
  • How to setup debexpo development environment
  • One example to hack debexpo (Showing "In Debian" flag)

The presentation slide is published at Rabbit Slide Show (Written in Japanese)

I hope that more people will be involved to hack debexpo!

debexpo: adding "Already in Debian" field for packages list

I've sent a merge request to show "Already in Debian" column in packages list on mentors.debian.net.

salsa.debian.org

At first, I've used Emoji, but for consistency, it has been modified to use "Yes or No".

This feature is not fully merged yet, but it may be useful to distinguish "This package is already in Debian or not" for sponsor.

lltsv 0.6.1-2: applied background color patch for readability

Original version of lltsv doesn't specify background color, so it is hard to recognize texts in dark background.

I've fixed this issue by specifying background color explicitly.

Here is the screenshot of fixed version. Yay!

月に一度くらいどんな活動をしたかをまとめてみることにした。 思い立ったのが、月末近くだったのでそれほど多くはない。

ほかにもなにかやった気がするが覚えていない。

Debian Developerになりました

9/24日付でDebian Developerになりました。 新米DDとしては、バグを直したりする普段の活動を仕組みの面で改善できたりしないかという観点で、いい感じにする活動をしていきたいと考えています。 あとDDとしてこれどうやるんだろ?と疑問に思ったことなんかはまとめておきたい。

dnsZoneEntry: field should be removed when DD is retired

It is known that Debian Developer can setup *.debian.net.

wiki.debian.org

When Debian Developer had retired, actual DNS entry is removed, but dnsZoneEntry: field is kept on LDAP (db.debian.org)

So you can not reuse *.debian.net if retired Debian Developer owns your prefered subdomain already.

I've posted question about this current undocumented specification.
