Debian related information
Debian QA work
See maintained software packages, portofolio and BTS. About 1300 items reported to BTS by 2009-12.
Debian package maintenance
See Developer information. I have LowThresholdNmu and participate in collab-maint, so use Debian git repository for submitting patches to packages:
apt-get install devscripts # for debcheckout(1) debcheckout PACKAGE cd PACKAGE git checkout -b my-fixes master # edit & commit cycle $EDITOR ... git status git add <changed files> git commit -m "MESSAGE" # When ready, make a patch (set) git format-patch --signoff -M # Submit all git 000-* patches # to Debian BTS http://bugs.debian.org/PACKAGE # or send to PACKAGE@packages.debian.org
If you are a developer, or otherwise deal with bug reports, you may find Colin Watson's blog "about how to treat bugs reports" interesting.
