### An experiment about personalized front-end of bugs.debian.org Debian has a bug tracking system and bugs.debian.org is a key infrastructure for Debian project. It tracks many reports and the bug number is assigned to each reports. You can view such a report via https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=NNNNNN. This bug tracking mechanism is working well for a long time. It is very cool but it may be not friendly for newcomers. #### Target audience * Debian contributor or maintainer who want to fix bugs not only the bugs which is related to maintained packages by you It may not interesting for Debian developer because DD is already familiar with bugs.debian.org, udd.debian.org, or qa.debian.org. #### What will talk about In this session, I’ll talk about one experiment about Debian's bug tracking mechanism. It is constructed on traditional E-mail archives and simple front-end for it. #### References * "An experiment about personalized front-end of bugs.debian.org" https://slide.rabbit-shocker.org/authors/kenhys/debconf2020-online/

### Rethinking of debian/watch rule The debian/watch file is used to check the newer version of the upstream release and it makes easy to download if you need. Once debian/watch is ready for the package, you may not care so much about the existence of it anymore. But until you make it in good shape, you may hit common mistakes in your debian/watch. It is well documented in [WiKi page](https://wiki.debian.org/debian/watch), and there are many practical examples, but is it kindly enough for new package maintainers? ### Target audience * Debian contributor/maintainer who will work on ITP or something * Debian developer who will maintain devscripts ### What will talk about In this session, I'll talk about rethinking of debian/watch rule. Are there any kind of more simple, easy to maintain, cover most of the use case which can integrate seamlessly into current debian/watch? I would like to provide some experience with it and introduce & share a thought expertments with you from the point of view of Debian contributor if it is possible.
