Yet, if detailed manually filled change-log would be required to transfer the votes, it might give a rather good indication what needs to be tested again. I agree that whenever and update is released, testing is needed. But how much, depends on the amount and type of changes. Also, it should never mean that it's a completely new app, because that it's not... in most of the cases.

That might work: if the developer believes that the app shouldn't need full re-testing, s/he could apply to have previous votes ported, with a full change-log. Alternatively, s/he would have the choice to simply re-upload the app and start the testing process again.

That would reduce the workload on the 'testing-masters' to only those situations (such as adding a help file) where the dev is very confident that the changes don't affect stability.

Which is raised in every single other discussion about Extras-testing. Seriously, this is fragmenting the discussion and we'll just end up with different sub-groups making the same points over and over again - or, worse, different people thinking different solutions are going to be enacted.

It's also worth mentioning that talk.maemo.org has yet to cover anything which hasn't already been discussed on maemo-developers. I suggest anyone who wants to really get involved and make this better starts reading there, and then the other threads which try to take a step back here.

I move this thread is closed, or merged into one of the many existing ones.

PS. anyone who thinks that any repackage or change to the source code can't introduce a large and horrible regression has never done any serious programming :-)

I always take direct questions seriously. I do not take warnings seriously. Any warning I issue is issued probably for good reason.. but will likely never make any sense .

ETA: I'm with Jaffa and Tex ^^.. should be merged.

Humph. Had someone used "Report This" and suggested a specific, existing thread for the merge, it may have come sooner.

EDIT: Okay, apparently Texrat did do exactly that. (See below.) I haven't received the resulting email message though.

Anyway, the thread "Seriously! Extras-testing procedures stink" with twenty-six posts has been merged into this thread.
