It is not meant to be used by people who want "that package", because it'll definitely be removed from "Contrib-testing" at some point: either when it's stable enough for "Contrib-stable", or when it's deemed not good enough for "Contrib-stable" (not actively developed/supported, too buggy, foreporting nightmare, side-effects, ...).
Does that cast another light on "Contrib-testing" in your eyes or are you still opposed to it ?
But then you would need everyone to be able to write to that repo, that sounds uglier than a wiki page to me.
Not everyone, only the "maintainers" (or "reviewers" ?) of
"Contrib-testing" may do that.
Example:
- - you package newsbeuter in your home:coolo
- - someone proposes it as a candidate for Contrib
- - I review the package, check upstream health, check the license,
dependencies, etc.. well.. a review
- - the package is fine, it's MIT/X license, has good upstream
development, several contributors, frequent releases, upstream seems
responsive to patches and emails, doesn't require upgrades of library
packages, etc.. => OK
- - I linkpac or copypac (not sure we agreed on this already)
home:coolo/newsbeuter to Contrib:testing/
Volunteers can then pick up newsbeuter from Contrib:testing and test it,
send reviews (email or bugzilla, undecided atm).
If it doesn't have blocker bugs we can't fix, after receiving, say, 10
OK reports from testers, I move it from Contrib:testing to Contrib:stable
cheers
