| alourie|work | persia: thanks. I understand that. Are there plans to make qa.ubuntu.com something more than "some Canonical resources" holder? | 07:25 |
|---|---|---|
| persia | alourie|work: I doubt it. It is nice that Canonical donates hardware and admin time, but we would not want to solely depend on a resource that only some folk could use. | 07:51 |
| persia | For some other resources, look at qa.ubuntuwire.com | 07:52 |
| alourie|work | persia: oh? why is it limited to only some folks? | 07:52 |
| persia | There are also some private resources, but these are less organised. | 07:53 |
| alourie|work | but it seems that qa.ubuntu.com is quite an official QA resource. Why not maintain it? | 07:54 |
| persia | There was an incident several years ago with having some *.ubuntu.com hosts managed by folk who were not careful enough, so Canonical IS has become very strict about what code can run on their machines. | 07:54 |
| persia | Oh, it is maintained, but only by Canonical folk. | 07:55 |
| alourie|work | ...and not for everyone? Only *for* Canonical folk? | 07:55 |
| persia | No. The resources made available are for anyone to use, but the process of deploying code to the servers behind qa.ubuntu.com is limited. | 07:59 |
| persia | Note that this does not prevent arbitrary code from being deployed: it just needs to be advocated by someone at Canonical. | 08:01 |
| alourie|work | persia: so the question is if qa.ubuntu.com should be developed as "main" qa resource or not...and what are the future plans for it? Maybe ara knows :-) | 08:25 |
| persia | What? Do you see a problem with the current structure that needs fixing? | 08:27 |
| persia | I think we shbould use as many resources as can be made available. I also think we should use the wiki for team coordination, like all the other teams. | 08:28 |
| alourie|work | persia: oh, I don't object to having as much resources as possible... | 08:59 |
| alourie|work | it's just easier to understand the QA structure with qa.u.c I think | 09:00 |
| alourie|work | and purpose | 09:00 |
| alourie|work | but that's subjective | 09:00 |
| persia | alourie|work: I suspect there is work to be done to make everything a bit more clear: this is true for nearly every part of the project :) | 09:27 |
| persia | I'd just be concerned about setting a policy that said something like "all official resources must be hosted in this manner", as that restricts us. | 09:28 |
| alourie|work | persia: indeed so | 09:44 |
| primes2h | bdmurray: is there a page somewhere collecting all launchpad tags currently being used? | 13:37 |
| primes2h | bdmurray: I mean, bug report tags | 13:39 |
| charlie-tca | primes2h: there is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Tags, but it isn't all tags, since so many teams have their own tags in addition to these | 13:51 |
| primes2h | thanks a lot charlie-tca, I thought there were a page with tags from all teams, but anyway, thanks for the info. :-) | 13:55 |
| charlie-tca | Keep hoping for such an organized page, but reality is when teams decide to create their own tags pages, they stop using that one, it seems. | 14:02 |
