Dbus hasn't been the only package affected by a pre-mature push to stable. Its happened to less critical applications as well. I've had applications I had to scramble to update because a dep was pushed directly into stable by another maintainer. We have to be very careful about finding the balance between protecting users from human error without overburdening maintainers with a set of bureaucracy that makes it more difficult for them to contribute. Part of that balance could be having more automated testing.. but that sort of thing takes people to develop and implement. If there was a general call made for new contributors to help implement more automated testing would you step up and help write code to implement that? -jef -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
