Joining the team + some questions

[Pablo Oliveira]

Hi,

I would like to help with the packaging effort of LLVM in debian.

I have some basic questions (I hope not too naïve) about the proper way
to do things in the pkg-llvm team:

 1) Where can I access the jenkins nightly build logs ? The address
http://llvm-jenkins.debian.net/ is not responding.

 2) Building llvm packages takes a lot of time, do we have access to a
distcc infrastructure to test things faster when qualifying a new package ?

 3) I have commited some lldb fixes to the 3.8 branch (btw thanks
Gianfranco for fixing the circular dependency :-). Should I mirror them
in the snapshot branch ? In that case should I create a new snapshop
release and update the patches ? More generally, is there an agreed
schedule for doing new snapshop releases ?

 4) Bugs in the nightly packages are reported at the llvm bug tracker
<https://llvm.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?product=Packaging&component=deb%20packages&resolution=--->

This leads to some duplication between the debian bug tracker and the
llvm one (eg. llvm #26113 and debian #821022). Can we do something about
this ?

 5) Is there a quick README or wiki page explaining in which order and
how to use the maintainer scripts (unpack.sh, orig-tar.sh, and
qualify-clang.sh). If not, I can try writing a short documentation,
where should I put it ?


Thanks !

Pablo
