[tor-dev] minor website update request: have the tor-relay guide ready for Ubuntu 18.04

[nusenu]

Hi,

I wanted to have the tor relay guide ready for the
new Ubuntu LTS version 18.04 nearly at the same time when it is
released.

Thanks to the torproject debian maintainer we already have packages
for bionic.

Basically the only thing that is missing is the website update to
include the new distro for the sources.list generator.

For that I submitted an update on trac [1] a few days ago.
From my personal experience, my website update requests (also trivial ones)
take about two months to get committed, it would be great if we could speed
things up for this specific request to have the relay guide ready for the
new Ubuntu LTS nearly at the same time when the release is happening.
(I won't be bothering you with non-tor-relay-guide related website
updates anymore).

thanks,
nusenu

I want to make sure we encourage patches to the website.

Who has the ability to merge website patches?
Why does it take so long?
Is there any way we can make it easier for you all?

I've patiently been waiting for the usual 2 months to pass..

I'm considering to remove the relay guide's dependency on https://torproject.org content
to improve its maintainability.

Is that ok with you?

@Alison: is there a timeline for community.tpo?

Hi nusenu,
I am sorry I missed this ticket. I usually merge content as soon as I
notice a ticket. If I miss something, meaning I do not merge it in a few
days, a quick direct email or ping is enough for me to act on it.
This is now merged.

Cheers,

I would appreciate a comment or at least a
state change on the ticket when a PR is acted upon.

I closed the ticket now.
