Ubuntu Wiki

¡¡¡ This is Work In Progress !!!

Team Purpose

A team of UbuntuDevelopers has agreed on doing periodical reviews of code. To accelerate SponsorshipProcess members of the team will check

• the main/restricted sponsoring queue: http://bugs.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-main-sponsors

• the universe/multiverse sponsoring queue: http://bugs.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-universe-sponsors

• needs-packaging bugs that are marked as Fix Committed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.status%3Alist=Fix+Committed&field.tag=needs-packaging

If you are a member of the UbuntuDevelopers, it's highly appreciated if you join the team and help out: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-code-reviewers

Workflow

Members of the team

• have either to be in ~ubuntu-core-dev or ~ubuntu-dev to be able to upload reviewed patches. Still efforts of interested new contributors in reviewing patches are appreciated,

• will triage bugs (in the bug lists mentioned above) weekly,
• pick bugs they're interested (based on their area of expertise and preference),
• assign bugs where a review might take longer to themselves to avoid duplication of work.

If the patch was deemed not to be good enough yet, the bug will be re-assigned to the patch author and set to In Progress. The preferred way of closing bugs is ClosingBugsFromChangelog.

The administrators of the team will

• review the list of bugs weekly,

• assign long standing bugs (>= 2 weeks) to team members who might be up to the job.

Possible conflicts and problems will be discussed in the last minutes of the weekly Distro Team meeting.

Review

As a reviewer you should make sure the following rules are observed:

• adhere to StableReleaseUpdates, FreezeExceptionProcess, SyncRequestProcess, Merge policy,

• patches should apply, the resulting package should build and work correctly, built packages should install cleanly,
• don't hesitate to let the patch go through several review iterations, if you're unsure or unhappy about it.

• sync requests don't needs sponsoring or uploads; if you're sufficiently happy with the sync request of a non team member, simply mark it as confirmed and add you ACK in a comment.
