network manager and elsewhere in 12.1 which make me seriously question the amount of testing that was put into this release.
Did you contribute to the testing?
Some of the bugs would have been caught with a minimal amount of testing
There was a lot of testing done, but with a small number of people doing the actual testing, they cannot hope to cover all use cases. 12.2 is on its way in under 8 months. Step up and test the bits that concern you. Don't leave it to "someone else" or the things you find annoying will probably still be not working right come release day
Another example is postfix, which simple does not run. Given that Linux is often used for mail servers, how could this have possibly made it into a release distro?
From my side.. easy, I don't use postfix... so I didn't test it. Did you test postfix in the 12.1 alpha, beta and RC runs? Did you (or anyone else that could have tested postfix) open bug reports on the bits pf postfix that are not working
We all, as regular users, have a responsibility to our favorite distribution to help out... it IS a community distribution after all. Not all of us are developers, but we are all users, and we can ALL test... every one of us, even if it means installing a virtual machine on a Sunday afternoon during the RC phase... commenting about how it wasn't tested enough doesn't help matters one iota. :-( C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
