Yes, I was quite disappointed to notice there was a regression in 2.6.30, .31 and .32 and that nobody had noticed it before (in my experience saa7134 has always been one of the best driver on linux) so I think it will be very important to test new code properly in the future, at least before the code is widely used by distros. I am willing to help with testing. > It will all come down to the distros and such a bug fix might take just > a year in the future regularly ... I reported the bug on Ubuntu's Launchpad, but after the patch was ready and users confirmed it solved the problem, the Ubuntu team didn't backport the fix, so dvb-t reception is still broken, for example, on Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 (which is a long term release, and will be supported for 3 years) > So, if the quality control was not even sufficient on hg, what will > happen on latest -rc git stuff for that? > > Obviously zillions of people do much more prefer to crash around there > than on hg ... ;) > > Likely, I only have to read the LKML daily ... > > Despite of that, we need a good analysis of course, and a way how to > avoid such. Maybe we can have some kind of test team? It would help to find regressions before it's too late. > Cheers, > Hermann Giorgio Vazzana -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
