I am wondering, how hard would it be to modify Bodhi to require extra Karma for kernels? Who should I talk to about this possibility?<div><br></div><div>John, Son of Clay.<br><br>> Subject: Re: Proven tester wiki love<br>> From: awilliam@redhat.com<br>> To: test@lists.fedoraproject.org<br>> Date: Wed, 7 Jul 2010 12:16:47 -0700<br>> <br>> <br>> Actually, re-reading them, both versions tend to emphasize the negative<br>> feedback scenarios more than the positive. We should fix that. Positive<br>> feedback is in a way more important than negative, because we *need*<br>> proven testers to leave at least +1 on each critpath update (that<br>> doesn't have a problem, obviously) or it will not get published. We<br>> should probably explicitly call out that, in general, if you don't hit<br>> any of the negative or neutral feedback scenarios discussed, you should<br>> leave positive feedback.<br>> <br>> Thinking about it, though, we could consider a slightly different<br>> process for the kernel, as it's a component that's *extremely* subject<br>> to different experiences for different users. I'm not sure the workflow<br>> we've designed will work terribly well for kernels. I suspect it'll be<br>> all too easy for a kernel which actually contains a major regression to<br>> be approved; all it needs is for a proventester who doesn't happen to<br>> own the hardware concerned to find it works fine on their system, and<br>> file a +1, and anyone else to file a +1 too, and it'd be approved, even<br>> though someone who does own the hardware might come by and test an hour<br>> later and find the problem...<br>> <br>> we might want to design a system for the kernel where all proventesters<br>> hold off posting positive feedback for a day or two, until several<br>> proventesters and regular testers have had the chance to check for<br>> regressions.<br>> -- <br>> Adam Williamson<br>> Fedora QA Community Monkey<br>> IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org<br>> http://www.happyassassin.net<br>> <br>> -- <br>> test mailing list<br>> test@lists.fedoraproject.org<br>> To unsubscribe: <br>> https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test<br></div> <br /><hr />Hotmail is redefining busy with tools for the New Busy.
