Bug Squashing Parties

This page is intended to be used to coordinate the work at Bug Squashing Parties (BSP).

A Bug Squashing Party is a come-together (either virtual or reallife) of Debian Developers and Debian enthusiasts on a specified timeframe where these persons try to fix as many bugs as possible.

Next BSP November 26th to 28th. Come to #debian-bugs on irc.debian.org.

What you can do


Upload targets

Please don't NMU packages in testing-proposed-updates without prior agreement from the release team; otherwise, this makes life only harder for us. You should consider bugs that can be fixed via unstable the first priority.

While fixing a package, please take also a look at non-RC/non-important bugs of that package that could be fixed by the same NMU, especially for l10n bugs (or adding amd64).

Please see http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-nmu for details on how to do ["NMUs"].


Possible targets of NMUs and/or patches

These are both packages that need someone to prepare a patch for a non-trivial RC bug or packages that just need a NMU for an existing patch. Please discuss !["NMUs"] in #debian-bugs before actually uploading.
