When I was at IBM, this sort of thing would have been part of integration testing. As I mentioned earlier, when you make a significant change, you'd better test it fully.
That's a nice thing you can step up to do by yourself. see

We can't test everything, and even less all sorts of scenarios that having two init systems bring up.
Not testing everything is not the same as not testing the basics. Postfix is hardly a corner case.
Postfix is installed on nearly every system. The question should better be: Why was it not reported earlier?
Andreas, the obvious answer to your question is - because of insufficient and arbitrary testing. By everyone involved, including myself. My personal "excuse" is that I consider a running postfix such a basic element that I just can't imagine needing to test it. Mea culpa.
On the other hand a detailed test plan with test cases would be great to have - I'm sure the opensuse-testing team would welcome any actual help to make 12.2 better.
A fully fledged test plan is a lot of work, not including writing the test cases - to get commitment from a) people to write and maintain a plan and b) people to write and maintain test-cases, I submit we would have to create a hard link between the release and the status of testing. If a release goes ahead despite test-status being "negative", I think anyone testing or maintaining the test plan will feel ignored and be unlikely to participate again. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.0°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
