Then you got a wrong understanding on what is distributed.
Then please enlighten me. There is no QA going on yet.
Which builds did you test ?
Can't test it until 1) it is distributed and
That's the wrong sequence.
No, it's the only sequence. One can't honestly evaluate something that
one doesn't have and hasn't run.
The tested builds are distributed, not the ones that should be tested.
You apparently can download it from somewhere.
Yes. I have v2.0.4 here downloaded from ftp://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
using apt-get and/or synaptic.
2) there are step-by-step
guidelines for testing that your average slob can follow.
What is the URL for the itemized checklist ?
If your QA-group says: The build is OK for the users, no bad surprises,
etc. AKA "approves" the build, it can be distributed.
I am the *entire* QA-group and say that it can be distributed.
The QA project not an easy beauracracy to navigate and most are not
stubborn enough to try year after year. Others that have asked about
helping I have referred to t Myself, I am neither willing nor have time
for unclear processes. And though I am eager to offoad the QA problem,
for the time being I am the *entire* QA-group and say that it can be
distributed.
A good first step in getting volunteers would be a check list for QA.
Many have time to go through a checklist or run a script -- if the list or
script can be aquired and run in a very small number of steps. The list
or script can themselve have a large number of items, but participation
needs to have a low barrier.
QA-Track and TCM and other things are only things to support the process
of making the decision "OK/not OK".
