There was a testing sprint run by Sumantro recently, and generally he's been signing up a lot of new testers. Sumantro, can you please check and make sure folks are properly testing these updates? This update for instance is involved in producing human-readable forms of fedmsgs; it would actually be quite complex to test properly, I believe, as you would need to have a whole test fedmsg hub set up. "Install the package and see if the system breaks" is an appropriate form of testing for some packages, but not all, many are not at all related to typical desktop system functionality. Folks do need to make sure they understand what a package is for and have actually tested its functionality before posting feedback. I do note that the 'Positive feedback' section of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Update_feedback_guidelines is a little simplistic here, and I'll try to update that. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
