Contributing to Ubuntu packages on Launchpad but with different hosting (e.g. GitHub)

@fcole90: I see on the bug report that you’re making progress. :slight_smile:

The final step when verifying an SRU is to change the bug tags accordingly. So you should replace the tag verification-needed-focal with verification-done-focal and also replace verification-needed with verification-done.

Yes, thanks :slight_smile: I actually knew about it but I was not sure whether I was entitled to do that or if it was the SRU reviewer’s responsibility :blush:

It should be done by the person who verifies the package in -proposed. That way the bug number for the package is shown in green at this page, which tells the SRU team that the verification has been accomplished successfully and that the package is ready to be moved to -updates. However, the latter usually does not happen until at least 7 days has passed.

I get it, I did as you suggested :blush: I had visited that page and was fooled by its old-fashioned design into thinking it was no longer in use :sweat_smile:

Thanks again for everything, I couldn’t do all of this without your help! :smiley:

Thank you for your patience. It did not go so smoothly as we hoped, but it gave you an opportunity to learn quite a bit about the processes and policies for making bug fixes enter the archive.

@fcole90: I noticed that Robie used your bug as a showcase when proposing a slightly raised barrier for gnome-shell SRUs.

The package should be now rolling out. I thank you for mentoring me and I think that, besides the difficulties, what matters the most is that I learned a lot :smiley:

Sorry for my late answer, I got busier recently :confused:
