data sources a d-i RM probably needs to follow

• d-i commits, debian-boot
  • Probably goes without saying. If you're not already getting commit emails, be sure to subscribe.

• http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/build-logs.html

  • Expect to follow this on a constant basis and deal with failing builds. Daily build maintainers often miss that their build is failing, or need help fixing it.

• Alioth account and member of the d-i project
  ( https://alioth.debian.org/projects/d-i/ )

• http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/test-logs.html

  • This really isn't as important, and failures can be hard to analise, but it's often a good way to see when something is badly broken.
• installation reports
  • At least skimming most of them as they come in even if time is lacking to look at them all in detail will help at finding when things break.

• http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller*

  • It's probably best to subscribe for email commits for any changes to these pages.

• http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Today

  • You're the main one to keep this up-to-date.
• installer/doc/devel/kerntabl
  • Also expect to keep this up-to-date. It's useful as a way to check that all the kernel stuff in d-i is in sync.

• http://merkel.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/testing-summary.html

  • This page is especially important when a d-i release is being worked on and udebs need to be synched to testing.

• http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/translations.txt

  • This is mostly of interest just before a d-i release, when RMs need to upload packages with translation updates.
• The debian-release mailing list, and #debian-release.
  • To find out about d-i related stuff, including udeb sync requests.
• The debian-cd mailing list and irc channel.
  • It's also useful to get commit access to debian-cd if you don't have it. Login access to farbror is also very useful when investigating CD issues.
• The debian-kernel mailing list and irc channel.

• http://people.debian.org/~igloo/status.php?email=&packages=linux-2.6&arches=

  • This is a useful url when a new kernel version is coming out.

• debian-www cvs for http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/,

  • http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/, and http://www.debian.org/CD/ You will probably end up needing to modify all of these at some point, so also commit access. I have never subscribed to the commit mails, but I do follow the debian-www mailing list.

• The debian-mirrors mailing list and Mirrors.masterlist (in debian-www
  • cvs). It's good to know when a mirror is broken, and you'll probably end up making changes to Mirrors.masterlist, or uploading choose-mirror when it's changed.

• http://www.acc.umu.se/technical/statistics/ftp/monitordata/index.html

  • This is useful to see how much BW is being used to DL CDs after a

    release.
