DebConf 14 has started earlier today with the first two talks in sunny portland, oregon.
this year's edition of DebConf didn't feature a preceding DebCamp, & the attempts to organize a proper pkg-perl sprint were not very successful.
nevertheless, two other members of the Debian Perl Group & me met here in PDX on wednesday for our informal unofficial pkg-perl µ-sprint, & as intended, we've used the last days to work on some pkg-perl QA stuff:
- upload packages which were waiting for Perl 5.20
- upload packages which didn't have the Perl Group in Maintainer
- update OpenTasks wiki page
- update subscription to Perl packages in Ubuntu/Launchpad
- start annual git repos cleanup
- pkg-perl-tools: improve scripts to integrate upstream git repo
- update alternative (build) dependencies after perl 5.20 upload
- update Module::Build (build) dependencies
as usual, having someone to poke besides you, & the opportunity to get a second pair of eyes quickly was very beneficial. – & of course, spending time with my nice team mates is always a pleasure for me!
