I agree — it's ideal to avoid these kind of things. However, there are a *lot* of moving parts, and we just plain don't have coverage for every use case. Quality control exists, and I think it's fair to say that Fedora is at a high standard for any community distro, but it's unrealisic to expect it to be perfect for every case. You can help, though! Make sure the updates-testing repo is enabled, and help give feedback in Bodhi when updates which affect you come through. And more — in the very near future, we will have Taskotron open for contributor-submitted tests. That's how we're going to build up automated coverage so we don't need to rely so much on humans being on their toes at all times. Contributing tests for things you really care about will help us improve. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
