[11:06] <ads20000> Is it useful to run the manual testcases for the Artful Daily ISOs every day or how often would you guys recommend?
[11:16] <flocculant> ads20000: well - one of our testers(Xubuntu) doing that found usb boot of iso was broken
[11:18] <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?
[11:19] <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
[11:20] <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
[11:21] <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
[11:22] <flocculant> however - no-one else has setup package tracker for artful
[11:22] <flocculant> hope that helps
[11:23] <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
[11:24] <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
[11:25] <flocculant> I don't know a great deal about it though
[11:27] <flocculant> ads20000: http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/
[11:53] <Fily> Yes it is helpful, thanks for the answer
[11:54] <Fily> My problem is that I have no idea of how tho check if packages have regressions or bugs
[11:55] <Fily> Is the procedure explained somewhere??
[11:56] <ads20000> flocculant: have a ping
