Sorry guys,
quote from Suse.DE after asking QA Mgt to advise if Evolution bugs had
correct disposal as I had entered a few bugs and after 2 months no reply
(Paraphrase)
"Sorry I don't get down here to much with bugs that are not critical or
above"
I was basically told Evolution bugs don't get much of a first glance and
hence stay at New for very long periods of time.
Then 10.2 was released with huge upgrade issues wit the whole distro and
admittedly I only look after 11PC's but the whole upgrade disaster was
very concerning. I have another 8 months to decide if we purchase
SLES/D based upon performance and productivity.
Then suse.de released its RC with a alpha test3 blocker still unresolved
- the password issue. Operationally our group may process over 11,000
messages between us. I only found out the issue after all the upgrade
bugs got sorted out so you can image my distress and the by all. Also
each person has up to 7 different email addresses pop3 to process.
Basically if 10.4 has anything like the upgrade bugs in it or a blocker
in it - I'm out of here completely and there will be no evaluation of
SLES/D.
Of everyone who replied they were happy to keep evolution could you
please tell me if you are operating in a commercial work place?
Basically I regarded the upgrade bugs I had to deal with as if the RC
was Alpha in 10.2 and if they cannot get online update happening a bit
better in 10.3 I will have to re-assess how much money I authorise for
new hardware and other commercial software and spend it.
Personally I want to keep Linux, however I don't have the luxury of
personal preference to stand on
P.S Good morning to all its 07:40 here (GMT+10) and its sweet to do a
bit of work from home.
