Merge ocaml-maint and debian-ocaml-maint

BTW, is it also possible to make ocaml-maint administrate https://launchpad.net/ocaml?

Currently blocked on bug 393664

A fix has been released for the Bug #156207 (which is a dupe of 393664).
The fix is released in Launchpad sinzui.

When do you think the merge will be done?

Mehdi,
 just tried again, still fails. Not with a total crash, but no luck.
It appears that the debian-ocaml-maint account is for a person, vs team. Which may be the problem. Educated guessing here.

I've updated the bug report, so hopefully Curtis can give us an update.

Cheers!

Hi. Mehdi.

I think the team cannot be merged until it is activated. Do you or a team member have access to this team's email address. If so, you can claim the team, then we can precede with the merge.

I asked for the activation of debian-ocaml-maint by putting as contact
address <email address hidden> (for now). I'm still waiting
for the confirmation e-mail, but don't know if I will receive it any time
soon (if it got rejected by list masters).

Is there anything else I can do?

Cheers,

No, not regarding this task.

But I think you can accomplish part of your goal by subscribing your team to distribution package bug reports
https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ocaml

Does this mean to subscribe ocaml-maint to all sources packages maintained
by debian-ocaml-maint? (there are approx. 130)

yes.

No, the admins used the tools and they failed because the data would be corrupted. You or a member of your team need to gain control of debian-ocaml-maint's email address to verify you are the owners.

Since this team is not active in launchpad, it is not subscribed to any packages; it does not get bug mail. Someone must subscribe to the packges regardless of doing a merge.

Merging would change the ~debian-ocaml-maint maitained packages to your team, but that will not give your team any additional power over the distro and series packages...the maintainer information is historical information, not access control.
