Hi all:
First of I would like to say that all at Mandarke and volunteers and
developers did very well with 9.0. It is going to be a great release. I am
pleased that the beta cycle was a little longer than 8.2. This has certainly
helped to eleminate most bugs.
I have no comments as to the building and testing phases.
But I have comments on the reporting phase. I liked that there were three ways
to report bugs, but I think that needs to be limited to one way. I really got
mad when reporting 3 or 4 bugs during the RC3 portion via MandrakeExpert when
I was told to get a Bugzilla account and report them myself, as the expert
told me he ws told not to do any more bug reports because they were all
usless. This really angered me. I agree that there are a lot of bad bug
reports with a open beta like we do. I have probbly done a few my self. But I
liked the MandrakeExpert way of doing it because I had someone more
knowledgeable than me to look at it and say, hey how about doing this and
this and sending the info. Or send the contains of such and such file. This
allowed me to turn a bad bug report into a useful one, and one that was taken
away from me I got very angry.
I think bug reporting should have only one way to report, and that it should
be a two step process. One submitte a report, get feed back as to other
things that are need, when useful, it is submitted. I think that some sort of
feed back needs to be given to the person reporting the bug when it is
actioned and completed.
Any way just my $.02, I hope it helps make the next beta testing go round
smoother.
