I would like to announce my candidacy for PTL of the Packaging-deb project.
|
|
|
|
This might surprise some people, as it's not an area I'm sure many of you
|
|
associate me with. So I figure I should enumerate my qualifications:
|
|
|
|
First and foremost - I am the only ATC in the project currently.
|
|
|
|
Before that, I believe I qualify as a good candidate by having been one of the
|
|
maintainers of the last set of distro packages (Ubuntu at the time) that were
|
|
produced by the project.
|
|
|
|
Before we had devstack, and indeed before we had Gerrit, we used to use a
|
|
system for the gate that consisted of a program called Tarmac, the predecessor
|
|
to Jenkins which was called Hudson, bzr branches on Launchpad - and a set of
|
|
PPAs containing packages. Changes to projects were tested against distro
|
|
packaged dependency sets, and the way that one expressed a new dependency
|
|
was to land a change to the Build-Depends of the project in question.
|
|
|
|
It wasn't a great system - but it served us for that period of time. In any
|
|
case, the majority of the effort I spent on OpenStack in the Austin-Diablo
|
|
period was dealing with the debian packaging related to that.
|
|
|
|
So as the only human who has landed patches in the current project repository
|
|
AND the only one of those to have maintained packages for the project, I think
|
|
I bring a singular set of qualifications to the job.
|
|
|
|
I will try, should I be elected by the electorate, to ensure that we do not
|
|
reach the next PTL election with an electorate of one.
