Hi,

here's the list of applications under testing this week:

http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...er/1.0-maemo7/ - Promoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...bledict/0.1-2/ - Demoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...omeip/1.0.0-4/ - Demoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...systray/0.0.1/ - Demoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...erule/1.0.4-1/ - Promoted

I intentionally left out some applications because these are Command Line Applications(new rules will be announced) or I contacted the developers and they don't want to promote the current version in testing.
Please evaluate&vote all of them, even if the application already has enough votes(10), voting down will help to clean the testing queue, the applications with a karma < -5 will be automatically demoted, so some of the applications above can disappear from the testing queue before you evaluate them (not a problem).
Please always consider the comments made by other users and try to reproduce any issue reported, also if you find bug, report them in the proper place.
Always leave a comment when you vote down an application.

Happy testing !!

Re: [Testing Squad] - February 2010
 

Can I have two different versions of the same app in Extras-testing at the same time? If possible, is it recommended?

The reason I'm asking is that I have a version in Extras-testing, which is only a minor update compared to the version in Extras. It already has enough votes. I just need to wait for the quarantine time to end before I can promote it.

But now I made a new version which has pretty major changes in Extras-devel. While I tested as well as I can by myself, I need feedback. However, I can't seem to get enough of tester in Extras-devel, so I though of promoting it to Extras-testing for having more people testing it. Is this recommended?

Re: [Testing Squad] - February 2010
 

From my experience promoting one version to extras-testing appears to 'unpromote' the verison that was there, or something like that. So I don't think you can co-exist two versions.

Re: [Testing Squad] - February 2010
 

so command line programs aren't tested in these testing squad?

Re: [Testing Squad] - February 2010
 

Will be when all the rules for these apps are decided and in place(should be soon).

Re: [Testing Squad] - February 2010
 

Exactly, you can't have apps with the same name in testing, unless there's some bug in the system.
If the version currently in -testing is just a small fix why not promote the version in -devel now ?

Re: [Testing Squad] - February 2010
 

Would that include GUI apps that depend on other command line apps?

Take Bratag's and my Pianobar front-ends... pianobar is a command line app that would be exempted from your testing.. but the GUI's wouldn't be.. but if I understand the current system properly: if either of our GUI apps gets tested and voted up.. then when we promote it drags the dependencies too (since it's assumed that if an app that depends on another app worked fine.. then the other must have as well)..

So would you guys not be currently testing things like those?

Re: [Testing Squad] - February 2010
 

Exactly, this only affects standalone CLI apps, if the CLI app is a dependency from a GUI app, it will be treated like a library.

Re: [Testing Squad] - February 2010
 

The current version in Extras-testing has some changes that are very minor code-wise, but adds some nice functionality. So I better wait till I can promote it, which is only 3 days more. :)

Re: [Testing Squad] - February 2010
 

I'm still wondering what happened to 5 days 5 votes decision

Re: [Testing Squad] - February 2010
 

After more pondering we didn't reached a final consensus on that, so the current rules will be kept.

Hi,

here's the list of applications under testing this week.

Week 7:

http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...cs/20070225-2/ - Demoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...n/2.6-1maemo5/ - Demoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...ra/20070225-2/ - Demoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...witcher/0.3.6/ - Demoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in.../0.9.3-maemo7/ - Demoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...eragent/0.3.7/ - Demoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in.../ejpi/0.9.7-1/ - Promoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...eltests/0.1.1/ - Demoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...apier/1.0.5-3/
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in.../0.73-7maemo5/ - Demoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...ager/0.9.30-1/ - Demoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...light/0.2.0-2/
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...ilblogg/0.9.0/ - Demoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...920.2-3maemo1/ - Demoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...atch-home/0.3/ - Demoted

Results from week 6(2 promoted, 3 demoted):

http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...er/1.0-maemo7/ - Promoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...bledict/0.1-2/ - Demoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...omeip/1.0.0-4/ - Demoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...systray/0.0.1/ - Demoted
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...erule/1.0.4-1/ - Promoted

Just two remarks since some have asked:

* The bugtracker field is now mandatory, as you can see by the system notifications, apps without that field can't be promoted to extras, please also check if the field is valid, some developers just put there bugs.maemo.org without a product, e-mail addresses are valid for small apps(themes, widgets,...).
* You don't need to comment if you don't have anything to add to the discussion, for example is someone already commented that the package needs a bugtracker or is not optified, you don't need to repeat the same, just vote down.

I appreciate if someone with time add these two points to the faq(I'll be traveling this week): http://wiki.maemo.org/Testing_Squad

Great job so far.

Re: [Testing Squad] - February 2010
 

When the new firmware (PR1.2) with the Qt 4.6 is released, there is a possibility that current Qt apps don't work well or at all. If I understood correctly, a repacking might be enough. My question is, would it be possible to release updates to these apps, if only repacking was needed, as soon as possible without waiting for the usual 10 days?

Re: [Testing Squad] - February 2010
 

VDVsx,
Links broken in last category

Re: [Testing Squad] - February 2010
 

Thanks fixed.
Damn copy&paste ;)

Re: [Testing Squad] - February 2010
 

That's a good question, the current system doesn't allow that(proposed improvements allow), but I'll ask the responsible about that.

Re: [Testing Squad] - February 2010
 

Bugtracker link has no real value. IMHO better system would that there is a default bugtracker for all packages (including libraries) and if maintainer wants to use some other bugtracker it can be marked with bugtracker field. Optimally bugzilla would be the default bugtracker, but since bugmaster clearly doesn't want that, packages interface can be used instead.
