I've put a revised set of testing information and posting instructions up on
the Xubuntu Testing <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Testing> wiki page.
Because we're in the pre-Herd 5 development cycle, please focus on doing
short tests of the nightly releases. There's some good info on the
different types of tests on the Testing
Info<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Testing/TestingInfo>page. Be
sure to check out the section that explains updating your nightly
image using rsync! There's no need to do a full 600MB+ download each time.
:)
If you've posted a test to the "Current" page within the past few days, that
test has been archived to the
PreHerd4<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Testing/Feisty/PreHerd4>page.
If you have any comments or suggestions on how the pages can be improved,
please let me know. I expect some refinements in the next few days.
Hopefully this is a good start, though. Thanks, all.

Subject: proposed heirarchy for xubuntu testing wiki
Hi All,
I've done some initial set-up work on the testing wiki, and now (per
discussions with Cody) want to implement the hierarchy of testing pages.
Here is the hierarchy that I was thinking of:
Note: The hierarchy is based off of this page as the root:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Testing
Hierarchy:
/ Main testing info page. Similar to what is up there now, but will have
a little less detail. More of an introduction page.
Provide direct links to the other portions of the Xubuntu ISO
testing wiki.
/Testing_Info
Give an overview of testing process.
Provide links & information about getting current ISO's & keeping
them up to date.
Explain difference between long and short tests, and when to use
them
/Testing_Info/Long
Specific details about the long test. A how-to, if you will
/Testing_info/Short
Specific details about the short test
/Feisty/Current
Page to report tests for nightlies prior to their release
Will include field to report on which nightly version has been tested
--> will help us to be more specific about what is being tested
"Current" Page will be renamed "NightliesPreHerd5" upon release of
Herd5 . . .
/Feisty/HerdX
Upon the release of a Herd (e.g., Herd5) create a page on
/<Release>/Herd<X>.
This page would be for reporting test results for that Herd only. Not
for nightly build test results
Similar pages would be created upon each new milestone test release .
. .
/Feisty/Herd4
(I would re-label the "Current" page that is up right now to Herd4
just because we didn't have specific pages in place for any of the prior
Herds)
Question: How long should the test pages remain up (e.g., the pages for
tests of nightlies leading up to HerdX)? Maybe keep them live on the wiki
until the final release (i.e., Feisty 7.04 final) is released? That way
we'll have proof of our work??
Does it sound like I'm on the right track?
I wanted to run these by someone before doing the actual work, so please
send your suggestions back to me via the list. I'd like to get these pages
up soon. Thanks. :)
Jim
