For Mageia 2, I'd like to: - get my act together and fix a bunch of bugs (a lot of wrong suggests/requires, resulting in bugs&crashers) - provide GNOME 3.4.2 as updateBut this concerns loads and loads of packages. How to best proceed? I saw mentioning that QA is really busy. How can I make this as simple as possible for QA (not for myself)? Should I: #1 : - first fix the various bugs - provide each bug as update then later: - one massive GNOME 3.4.2 update? #2 : - do everything in one go (combine 3.4.2 update with the bugfixes)? #3 : - try and split out all the changes as much as possible (e.g. evolution would need new evolution-data-server, so must be updated at the same time).. but ideally go for filing a bug per update/package?
QA will probably have their answer, but it seems to me much easier for QA to verify one or two packages at a time, meaning #3 as much as possible, and then #1. As far as how you do it for testing yourself (before presenting to QA), you could use whatever approach seems easiest, but even there I would think that #3 as much as possible would be easier. Anyway, that is how I tend to approach things.
(#2 seems a potential nightmare, since you're bound to miss things.) -- André
