[Koha-devel] QA on Stable Branch

[Joshua Ferraro]

Hi all,

Now that pierrick has retired as QA manager ...

This email is to remind everyone that the 'stable' branch of Koha
is so-named because it's supposed be the most 'bug-free' version
of Koha. Especially since we're nearing the release of 2.2.6, it's
very important that all commits don't break existing functionality.

Please, I can't stress this enough, before you commit something,
please test the function completely to make sure it works. Also,
test any related functions that may be affected by your commit. This
may take a few extra minutes, but it will save the rest of us
hours of troubleshooting a so-called 'stable' branch.

If you do happen to commit something that breaks Koha, please
either fix the bugs immediately, or revert the code back to a
working state. There's nothing more annoying than trying to
troubleshoot someone else's buggy code. Remember, if you wrote
something, it will take you much less time to fix a bug than
someone else.

As a further reminder, there are still 9 'blocker' bugs that we
know about, preventing us from releasing 2.2.6. If you own these
bugs, please try to either fix them or revert to the last working
copy as soon as possible.

Thanks,
