I just want to say that we should change a bit the release agenda. It's pretty evident that nobody can use factory seriously before late in the process. It's also obvious from my experience that nobody used some applications (if somebody did, a non starting application should have been noted).
How would you modify the release agenda to make more people test?
So we need at some moment (1 or 2 months before release) to test *all* the included aplications. We should have a web page (or an entire web site, some OBS side site) with a list of applications, and a tick box where everybody can see if the application have been tested or not and by how many people.
Yes. There are a lot of things it would be good to have... But somebody has to implement them.
We need also to have a better integrated workflow with Packman. No bug should be closed as wontfix or invalid because some packman application is involved, as this mean no multimedia app is concerned by bugzilla.
Since I suppose you are talking about kmediafactory/mjpegtools/mpeg2enc ;-) I closed it as invalid because it's not an openSUSE bug... and then I fixed the Packman package. That package got fixed because you wrote about the problem in the Packman mailing list, not because of the bugzilla entry. With an openSUSE release bugzilla got a "Packman" component. I don't think too much people used it to report and I don't think Packman packagers really looked into it. It disappeared in the next release and nobody complained. I suppose you can convince people here to readd that component, but what you really need is to convince Packman packagers to use it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
