Hot potatoe... In retrospect, I cannot tell whether davej should not have submitted 3.5.0-2.fc17 as a test update three days later, knowing that 3.5.0-1.fc17 causes problems. It looks like there is disagreement about the problem you've reported. 2) You could have left negative karma on the test-update: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-11323/kernel-3.5.0-2.fc17 3) Nobody claims that the current way Fedora Testing is done, would be bullet-proof. IMO, it's a known problem that some updates are rushed out and should spend much more time in testing. bodhi - 2012-08-01 18:25:37 This update has been pushed to testing bodhi - 2012-08-01 21:44:56 This update has reached the stable karma threshold and will be pushed to the stable updates repository This is ridiculous! One of Fedora's weak spots. :-( This particular kernel is also an example of a "karma fight" within bodhi, with several testers ignoring the guidelines, unfortunately: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Update_feedback_guidelines#Previously_reported_bugs They voted +1, compensating previous -1 votes. :-( -- Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle) - Linux 3.5.0-2.fc17.x86_64 loadavg: 0.22 0.23 0.25 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
