-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Our arch testers are understaffed and often don't really do general runtime tests (it's mostly assumed the maintainer knows about runtime issues).
I have often had a hard time to get some random users comment on certain packages or even assist on some runtime tests. I don't even know how many people use the package I maintain. This makes it very difficult on some decisions when to stabilize non-trivial stuff like media-gfx/blender or sci-visualization/paraview. I don't use those things on a daily basis. I'm wondering if it would make any sense to set up some kind of portal to track at least such delicate packages where we need users to comment on general stability and especially runtime issues. (actually the bug-tracker was meant for that, but it seems that doesn't work out for general user reports... those are very rare) So when any1 of you is really bored, he could chime in there, do some random testing (or maybe you already use it on a daily basis...) and report it. It wouldn't really need to be professional. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSf5pdAAoJEFpvPKfnPDWzyFwH/0lvhLwyupLPvT+7iSgbXuTK 1MsHNZRnWGYqBqOtkJqx6B5QN3dG+od7YlFm7Z3wgyB1RShw1OYGIzTwQhVCcTdP lwtHjgr2lD4ER7bYxvOeP7PVz+SYPGG1WO4N/ITktHUYoO/n7m0Mvtd8EnpDDQ30 T0YZn7333JvCxLwVJJLvp63FqUUkDmL4VKT5QHLvDhK8okgvXcIiSNUhvO17T2/7 mRi4K5NsOSHinnQt0ziUQxGYgq9StqM6aDcmzvHiV0g0NmegAGQEAcFnVVZWcYUI Rv8DThMzkbJhOFrFBCvJLOYdTGNTs9AdfQLSCtrd6O2rmUTlwiBl9jZntSUPPq0= =/S73 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
