They should use distribution-compiled binaries - or at least record and explain the fact that they don't, and check whether there are significant differences between the compiled binaries they use on each distro. And when they observe anomalies, they should try and do some kind of research to confirm the result and figure out _why_, not just note the fact of the anomaly. Multiple people have pointed this out to them in the past, but they haven't really made a concerted effort to change. I have a kind of love/hate relationship with Phoronix - they're a popular site and do some really good stuff, but they also make a lot of frustratingly lazy mistakes and shorthand contractions in many articles. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
