During this week, we only managed to get 4 snapshots (0324, 0328, 0329, and 0330) out of the door. Seems QA is slowing us down too much, so I decided to give up on it. To make Tumbleweed more plannable for upgraders, the new process will foresee a fixed time when a snapshot will go out – daily at 5 pm UTC. We will just ship out whatever we have built by that time. This is a minimal tradeoff between stability and plannability – after all, we all trust our developers and maintainers and we know that they test things before sending them your way. So no more need to slow down using QA!
As someone who remembers the good old times when everybody just used Factory (and "tumbleweed" only described plants rolling through the dessert), I fully support this move. The good old Factory always "just worked", and I'm looking forward to get the latest packages faster than in in the last years with these annoying delays caused by openQA. To make the move complete, can we please start to use the name "Factory" again? Regards, Christian Boltz PS: Even if there are a few bugs left, I'm sure nobody will notice them. To give a practical example: I introduced a bug in the AppArmor package 4 years ago, and so far nobody noticed it. Another bug introduced 7.5 years ago went unnoticed until a few days ago. "Of course" openQA also didn't find these bugs, which confirms that it's useless and superfluous ;-) -- looks like you have some special code in yast for password "x", maybe I should use the even more secure new password "y" in the future ?! ;-) [Harald Koenig in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=148464]
