I'm not sure what this means. You are free to ask but if having testers is a condition for you to be able to finish your work, then you should state it explicitly.

What are we waiting to get a security release out? Note that I'm not a Xen user and not a Xen developer. I don't know much about Xen and I'm not in a position to test your work. Many of us are in a similar position and if we decided to outsource the work to Credativ, it's because we want you to take care of fixing and testing. The LTS team would like to have to handle only the administrative work of publishing a DLA. On Thu, 21 Jul 2016, Bastian Blank wrote: > Did you get the chance to look at this source? No, cf above.
