Depends on how strong the QA should be. In rigid QA terms, you can't be sure it's ok until you test it, period. Even if you will not change any source line, new build is new "beast" (as something may go wrong in build process, or packaging or whatever). Regardless your expectations, you can't be sure. That's the point of QA approval stamp - users can be sure (to certain degree set by QA process) that this particular binary is ok, nothing more and nothing less. So, if we'll test only packaging and installation, people could be sure that it could be unpacked and installed, nothing more and nothing less. I agree that all could expect with high level of certainty that it will be generally ok as the previous build, and this might be ok for 99.99% of users, but if I'd be admin of FB installation in bank for example, I'd not trust it as previous build, as it was not "fully" QA'ed. Anyway, I'm ok with "soft" QA on this one IF it would be announced as such. regards Pavel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
