buildd, and other stuff
Yeah, Steve: wanna-build, buildd, and sbuild are pretty complicated if you've never met them. That's why I wrote some documentation on the different states a package can have in the wanna-build system, and also why I did a presentation about the system, including an introduction in how to set it up, at FOSDEM. The slides of that presentation are available.Since I'm talking about buildd anyway: I finished setting up kiivi, a box by Meelis Roos, earlier this week, and James Troup enabled the wanna-build access for this machine just today. Meaning, backlogs should definately be history for m68k now. Life's great.
Regarding the vote and its controversy: I do think the title was deceiving, but don't think this was done on purpose. The problem was that an adjective had been used, and when you do that, you'll always lose objectivity and risk deceiving people. "There's a tree over there" is objective; "There's a nice tree over there", "There's a large tree over there", or "There's an old tree over there" all aren't, because they include the result of someone's judgement. Saying "Editorial changes to the Social Contract" rather than "Changes to the Social Contract" is more or less telling people what to think, albeit not explicitely; therefore, I think the outcome of the vote should be declared invalid, even if I agree with most of the changes being made. It is also the reason why I seconded Craig Sanders' amendment.
OBTW, Keybuk: they're all equally nice, except for the "boxless" one which you made the default.
