|
|
<para>
|
|
This tool aims to help with <ulink type="http"
|

url="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess">the sponsoring
|
|
process</ulink> and is written by the MOTU team.

</para>
|

<para>
|
|
This tool will 1) build a source package of the current source tree
|
|
you're in, 2) upload the package to <<productname>dput</productname>
|
|
location> (using 'default' if not specified), 3) follow up on the bug
|
|
report (if specified in <filename>debian/changelog</filename> as per the
|
|
<ulink type="http"
|
|
url="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClosingBugsFromChangelog">changelog
|
|
spec</ulink>), 4) set the right status and subscribe the right people to
|
|
the bug report.

will also 1) file a bug and add 2) a (LP: #.....) header to the source

<para>

<ulink type="http" url="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess">The
|
|
sponsoring process</ulink> was complicated enough and package uploads
|
|
were done to either <productname>Malone</productname>,
|
|
<productname>REVU</productname> or personal web servers. This tool aims
|
|
to unify processes and make use of existing infrastructure such as
|
|
<productname>Launchpad Bugs (Malone)</productname> and
|
|
<productname>Launchpad PPA</productname>.

In September 2007, Daniel Holbach started working on this tool.

<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
This tool has lists of known strings for a given package that
|
|
it searches for in bug reports (even in the attachments uploaded),
|
|
thus helping to find duplicates, related bugs and other information,
|
|
but mainly making bug triagers job a lot easier.
