[V3dot10] Taking the blue pill Hi Edgar, When dealing with equality its quite easy to make a hash of it* ;-)
Anyhow it's much too frightening to use an image where you can't pin down errors quickly. Unfortunatly introducing all of the changes Dan needs at once makes a haystack a good bug tracker knows to avoid. The changes need to be broken up into parts. Probably according to what portion of the image they affect. The more critical the part of the system the more rigorously the changes need to be checked before being installed. This should not really be a responsibility of the release team. The release team should only have the responsibility of assure that changes go into the system safely. Which means someone else needs to be recruited to do the detail work. There are two people who submitted the fixes. Why not let them know what is required to get the fixes in safely and see if they can come up with the resources to do it? What you have beed doing is reasonable for smaller changes. Massive changes should be viewed for the trouble the represent. And if an area of change has caused problems once it needs to be treated as if it will cause problems again. In those cases I would demand tests of the submitters. Part of the reason is to slow down careless submitters and get them to think about what they are proposing to commit to the image. Your energy and willingness have been of great service to the community. No one is expected to understand the problem until it has bit them once or twice. Please remember all we are doing is "dealing with the problems as the come up". In that context there are no wrong answers only interesting results.** the problems are part of the progress not an obstacle to it. Cheers and Hth. Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace *This pun works quite well in English. I suspect its not as drole in Español. ** Seymour Papert (somewhat folk processed).
