| ads20000 | Is it useful to run the manual testcases for the Artful Daily ISOs every day or how often would you guys recommend? | 11:06 |
|---|---|---|
| flocculant | ads20000: well - one of our testers(Xubuntu) doing that found usb boot of iso was broken | 11:16 |
| ads20000 | flocculant: so it's helpful, yes, but how often would you recommend running the testcases? Presumably some stuff would be fixed anyway when upstream package updates are merged, but it's probably worth tracking stuff anyway/trying to ensure stuff works so developers can be on Artful if they want to be? | 11:18 |
| flocculant | ads20000: what are you talking about here - iso tests or packages? | 11:19 |
| ads20000 | Fily: ISO tests | 11:19 |
| ads20000 | Fily: sorry, my second sentence was a more general comment that probably applies to both | 11:19 |
| ads20000 | flocculant: sorry, you were meant to be tagged in those two | 11:19 |
| ads20000 | flocculant: Fily is the tester asking the question actually, but they asked me on Ubuntu Rocket so thought I should ask the question here | 11:20 |
| flocculant | :) | 11:20 |
| flocculant | well - from my pov (see above) then it's certainly helpful | 11:20 |
| flocculant | what's probably as helpful is not just testing that the iso works but that packages don't have regressions or bugs in them | 11:21 |
| flocculant | all well and good being able to install - but better to install with things with no bugs :D | 11:21 |
| flocculant | however - no-one else has setup package tracker for artful | 11:22 |
| flocculant | hope that helps | 11:22 |
| ads20000 | flocculant: Would certainly be nice to catch massive bugs like not being able to install Deb packages not in the repo earlier (I don't know if a patch for that has been uploaded to Zesty Updates yet!) | 11:23 |
| ads20000 | Fily: is that helpful? | 11:23 |
| flocculant | 'ubuntu' stuff at least gets some autotesting - our stuff doesn't | 11:23 |
| ads20000 | flocculant: oh, what do you mean by that, link for Zesty? | 11:24 |
| ads20000 | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/artful this is a thing, it seems | 11:24 |
| flocculant | autopkg testing | 11:24 |
| flocculant | I don't know a great deal about it though | 11:25 |
| flocculant | ads20000: http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/ | 11:27 |
| Fily | Yes it is helpful, thanks for the answer | 11:53 |
| Fily | My problem is that I have no idea of how tho check if packages have regressions or bugs | 11:54 |
| Fily | Is the procedure explained somewhere?? | 11:55 |
| ads20000 | flocculant: have a ping | 11:56 |
