One of the reasons it's taking so long to test bug 5575, and one of the reasons why it's hard to get others to test branches like it is that the branch includes so many changes at once. It would be so much simpler to be testing a branch that introduced a single feature or bugfix. I could look at that one thing, confirm it works, and sign off. As it is I have to poke around looking in different places, trying different things, looking for things which might have changed.
It is so important that qa branches/patches are feature- or bug-specific. Yes, I agree, (and this point about too large branches has already been rised)
But: * when you add a major new feature, there are always many dependancies, making the branch not easy to test * it's not only a problem for this specific branch. I'm not comfortable with the fact that smaller patches/branches stays pending without feedback. No-one has given feedback on other branches as well. Including new ones that are very small and should/could be validated easily The problem is not that it takes so long to test, it's that no-one test ! -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08
