Hi Raghu. It will help you to know :-
CVS (concurrent version system) - a software product used to maintain
multiple development versions of the Gnome software.. allows you to
extract the source for the version you want, download it, change it (if
you're a developer) and load it back up to the repository. There's a
tutorial on it here :-
http://developer.gnome.org/tools/cvs.html
If you want to debug the latest development versions of Gnome, you'll
need to download CVS head source, and build them using autoconf,
automake, configure and the gnu c compiler. Tutorial on this is here :-
http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/
cheers
Rod

Hi everybody,
It's been a long time since the last bug day. It's probably time to
revive them :-)
AFAIK, bug days did not happen anymore because of lack of time. It's
indeed very time consuming if only one person has to organize them. But
there are more than one guy in the bugsquad who can do it.
I propose that each we list all the people who agree to run bug days and
we'll have a kind of "organize the bug day" token that will be used to
know who will organize the bug day. Of course, everybody will be welcome
to help :-)
I've been also wondering if the new bug days could be better if they'd
be task-oriented. For example, triage all the bugs of an application,
triage all the GNOME 2.6 bugs, close as much old NEEDINFO bugs as
possible, etc.
What do you think?
Vincent

Hrm. I might be able to take the token for two weeks from today.

We have done that at times in the past, and it was generally quite
successful- I definitely recommend it as a strategy for any future bug
days. [I think it was originally andrew or elijah's idea.]

What are the organiser's tasks? Maybe you want to put a few notes on
our
workspace on the Wiki about that.
Maybe also some kind of schedule, i.e. date and goal/tasks schedule.

This "round robin" approach is probably the best idea so that some of
the mentioned categories will not become neglected.
We should also adopt to circumstances like an upcoming release of a
new GNOME series and concentrate e.g. on beta release/RC bugs etc.

Hi!
I recently subscribed to bug squad.
I got a mail saying, to post this list, send a mail to
this ID.
What is it to post?

Choose a time, advertise it (bugsquad, gnome-love, gnome-list,
footnotes, other?). If it's a targetted bug day, make sure you've got
something that people can work through, eg. a tinyurl of bugs that need
working on. Make sure you or other people are around on IRC to help
newbies with getting involved. At least one person on IRC has privileges
to create new bugsquadders (ie. can grant users editbugs and canconfirm)
- this is something that bit us badly a couple of years back when it
stopped being a Luis-only thing. He was on holiday :)
It's the being-on-irc bit which takes time.
Someone feel free to expand and wikify that if they want :)

Definitely. That's what we've done in the past.

In this context, it means "to e-mail the list".
