| Speedyexe | Hi all Im new here | 20:09 |
|---|---|---|
| Speedyexe | 1)Can I have access do development tickets so I will know what exact new features to test? | 20:09 |
| Speedyexe | still waiting to be automated, and place where all automated tests are to check them out ) | 20:09 |
| Speedyexe | ;) | 20:09 |
| Speedyexe | do we have slack? ;) | 20:10 |
| wxl | it's all on launchpad | 20:11 |
| Speedyexe | I did not found todays features list on launchpad, where is it? | 20:13 |
| wxl | there's not a "today's features list" but packages are constantly getting updates | 20:14 |
| wxl | look at some aspect you're interested in and go from there | 20:14 |
| wxl | it's not often that things are completely overhauled. they're improved. sometimes new features are added, but again, to existing packages. | 20:15 |
| wxl | as an example, here's snapd, that allows for snap packages to be installed and run https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd | 20:16 |
| wxl | also: in general the updates that happen come from debian, which get there changes from upstream. | 20:18 |
| wxl | there are some obvious exceptions, like e.g. ubuntu-settings or ubuntu-session | 20:19 |
| wxl | (neither of which have any recent changes) | 20:20 |
| wxl | there are occassionally calls for testing new things here https://community.ubuntu.com/ | 20:22 |
| wxl | for example, unity | 20:22 |
| Speedyexe | Ok I will take a closer look on launchpad (I can see blog is somekind of brief changelog that gives me idea what is happening with builds) | 20:22 |
| wxl | there's a lot of "packaging" work that gets done in ubuntu but generally not a lot of new code. the exception are those pieces that canonical is really involved in. again snapd is a great example. | 20:23 |
| wxl | the desktop team also provides updates on the above | 20:24 |
| wxl | the number one thing you can do as a tester is do iso testing. better yet: across all flavors and on as much hardware as you can throw at it. | 20:24 |
| Speedyexe | ok understood, compability with hardware mostly | 20:25 |
| wxl | not entirely, no, but partially | 20:25 |
| wxl | the other thing is to sure the whole ecosystem works together | 20:25 |
| wxl | testing the installer, mostly | 20:26 |
| wxl | exploratory testing on top of that is also beneficial | 20:26 |
| Speedyexe | ok that gives me ideas, thanks I will check daily builds http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ | 20:27 |
| wxl | you can report the results of your tests at iso.qa.ubuntu.com | 20:28 |
| Speedyexe | ok thx | 20:29 |
| wxl | i will also add that the flavors are generally much smaller teams and get much less testing and use than ubuntu proper. i would urge you to help out there wherever you can. | 20:29 |
| Speedyexe | Yeah much smaller teams, I'm checking flavors right now https://ubuntubudgie.org/team | 20:32 |
| wxl | there's Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu MATE | 20:33 |
| wxl | Ubuntu Kylin if you are good with chinese :) | 20:33 |
| wxl | oh and there's Ubuntu Studio which is interesting because it's developed as both an independent flavor and a sort of "add on" to any system | 20:34 |
| wxl | there are IRC channels for all of them. generally #flavorname-devel is a good place to go | 20:34 |
| Speedyexe | nice im checking out here https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours | 20:35 |
| Speedyexe | ok thanks for introduction, I will read more and get back if I will need more ^^ thanks and see ya ;) | 20:44 |
| wxl | thanks for making ubuntu better :) | 20:46 |
| Speedyexe | No problem ;) I need new hobby :D | 20:47 |
| wxl | there's plenty of work to do XD | 20:51 |
| Speedyexe | I find this informative on what to test | 20:59 |
| Speedyexe | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DiscoDingo/ReleaseNotes | 20:59 |
| Speedyexe | and this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue587 section Security Updates | 20:59 |
| Speedyexe | ^^ | 20:59 |
| Speedyexe | and this to have idea who is doing what | 20:59 |
| Speedyexe | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Teams | 20:59 |
| Speedyexe | well theres plenty of ubuntu pages to explore xd | 21:00 |
| wxl | don't bother testing Disco, really.. Eoan is in development. that's what needs help | 21:00 |
| Speedyexe | yeah but theres no release notes xd | 21:01 |
| wxl | of course not | 21:01 |
| wxl | it's a moving target | 21:01 |
| Speedyexe | xd | 21:01 |
| Speedyexe | I understand :D | 21:01 |
| wxl | there's ways that you can see every update to every package but you'd be overwhelmed | 21:02 |
| wxl | you'd also be struggling to figure out what each change does | 21:02 |
| wxl | not every change has some significant effect | 21:02 |
| wxl | some are just for build reasons.... | 21:02 |
| Speedyexe | that complicates a bit but I understand | 21:04 |
| wxl | it's best to find an area you're interested in and go for that | 21:05 |
| Speedyexe | is there a way to see list of tickets that developers do? some kanban agile board? | 21:05 |
| wxl | no | 21:06 |
| wxl | some flavors might have them | 21:06 |
| wxl | i know lubuntu and kubuntu both do | 21:06 |
| Speedyexe | ok good to know | 21:08 |
| Speedyexe | I got to go because its like 23:00 see ya tomorrow ;) | 21:09 |
| Speedyexe | ps. my linked if you wanna connect https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielszulc/ | 21:09 |
| Speedyexe | cheers! | 21:09 |
