This makes running a daily machine on Factory a lot more interesting for me. The whole experimental dumping ground thing made Factory a bit scary to non-developers who might have been interested in testing releases (like me).
Now I want to hear about your experiences and expectations.
Is this ready to go now? Or still being established? As in if I go grab Factory later this week and install will I be stepping into the brave new world of "Users enjoy a tested Factory"?
There is no reason to wait, the future is now :)
Let me make one point clear though: we can only avoid breaking what we also test. E.g. we test that you can write 'Hello, if you can see this, oowriter works' into a oowriter (which is called lowriter these days, but openQA still tests oowriter :)
That doesn't mean oowriter can't crash during save or print. This means factory will keep having bugs not covered by openQA. But any software will have bugs ;)
Stuff breaks in the main release too :-) I'm not bothered by most ooopses except maybe Kernel panics that I can't iron out, and Nvidia drivers that I can't install anymore. anything else... if it breaks it can be fixed. It's just the experiments that put me personally off of running Factory all the time. I'll clean up and take a look at installing Factory again :-) Testing Factory more often is one way I can step up contributions.
