I didn't claim there was no bug. Only davej could tell why a 3.5.0 kernel test-update has been offered inspite of this early-warning bug report. All I understand is that the Fedora test-update process does not guarantee that the update -- if pushed to stable -- will be free of bugs and free of regression for everyone. It will need some project policies to determine whether a single user's bug report could block an update, or whether maintainers are permitted to overrule bug reporters => sometimes trade-off decisions are necessary. Current testing only scratches the surface. It could be that 3.5.0 fixes many more issues than it causes regression. > > 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.

Sure, this problem affects you personally. However, more interesting is to figure out what has gone wrong related to the bug report and how to avoid failures like that in the future (e.g. with a more restrictive update policy and disabled karma automatism in bodhi for some packages). Humans make mistakes. It can happen that if a bug report is not clear and concise, its impact is not recognized. -- Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle) - Linux 3.5.0-2.fc17.x86_64 loadavg: 0.07 0.07 0.09 -- 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?
