random notes:

• "look, mom, #RCBW and /me are mentioned in the recent debian project news!"
• looking at the ubuntu box in a package's PTS page sometimes shows valuable patches that have not yet been forwarded to the debian BTS & are just waiting to be applied.

& another week has gone by, & here's my #RCBW report.

summary:

• there are still enough RC bugs left.
• luckily other people also do NMUs, even if they don't blog about it.

two short observations:

• now is a good time for fixing RC bugs – there are tons (of easy ones) available. just head over to the UDD bugs page.
• quite a few of the bugs with patches contain fixes forwarded from Ubuntu – thanks guys!

over 3 months without a posting about my RC bug squashing activities. that also means I hardly looked at any bugs in packages I'm not (co-)maintaining. – anyway, here's the list of fixed RC bugs:
