If you are a DD, then you have access to various machine, of different arch and then you could try on them. > Do maintainers usually test on various platforms? Well, I don't know (I maintain only one package, and it is a Binary-all package), but I believe most don't. They wait for the build farm and user of unstable for reporting bug. Of course, there is a problem : some arch have fewer tester than other, and then your package might not have been tested on those arch before Debian is out. -- Rémi Vanicat [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dept-info.labri.u-bordeaux.fr/~vanicat -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
