distro-tracker is a set of services tailored to distribution developers, package maintainers, and anybody who might have to interact with those people (upstream developers, bug reporters, advanced users, etc). It lets you follow almost everything related to the life of a package (or of a set of packages).
The documentation always matches what's in the git repository's master branch.
Otherwise you can generate the documentation yourself by doing make html
in the docs subdirectory of the distro-tracker git repository.
Have a look at the "Contributing" section of the documentation.
You can interact with the developers on the debian-qa@lists.debian.org
mailing list (archive) or on
the #debian-qa IRC channel on the OFTC network (irc.debian.org server
for example).
The lead developer is Raphaël Hertzog (buxy on IRC).
We are using GitLab's bug tracker to manage bug reports which are related to the source code itself. You should file new bugs there.
However, we also use the Debian bug tracker with its tracker.debian.org
pseudo-package to manage bug reports which are related to the instance which is
currently running at https://tracker.debian.org.
You should thus check its list of open
issues before filing a new
bug to avoid duplicates. You can also have a look at all the closed bug
reports
too.
Security issues should be reported to the bug tracker like other bugs. If you believe that the issue is really sensitive, then you can mail Raphaël Hertzog privately.
