Hi Lance,
Bug #987418 is still active. On the defence of the release team, I
include a note from their meeting today:
(16:51:05) slangasek: I know 12.04.1 has pulled a lot of effort away
from quantal development for this first part of the cycle, but please
make it a focus for the next couple of weeks to get these back on track
The Abiword bug is also still very much alive and kicking.
@Nicholas could you check as to if any progress has been made to put
the 'stable' version of Abiword into precise & quantal, the note from
the abiword people about frustration at ubuntu shipping an unstable is
quite evident.
Lance, with regard to cadence testing, it is accepted that the current
set up does not make the reporting of such tests easily available. It
is being worked upon.
(15:48:25) phillw: balloons: has any progress been made so that the
daily builds do not wipe out what has been tested on
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/219/builds
(15:52:06) balloons: phillw, you mean in the same way as during a
milestone?
(15:52:24) balloons: this week, although it's harder for you to see
the previous results, they are not lost or wiped
(15:52:41) balloons: I am counting and attempting to track them.
(15:52:42) phillw: balloons: yes. otherwise no one knows what has been
tested :)
(15:53:08) balloons: phillw, yes, I know.. that is definitely an
issue.. But we don't have a good tech solution atm to the problem
(15:53:16) phillw: the only way I can track is by turning on the
history which makes for a very long list!
(15:53:23) balloons: if we did a traditional milestone, we'd lose
results on the new iso releases
Honest, my good friend, these things are not being ignored! Please do
not feel down hearted.
If anyone has points that they wish raising at the weekly QA meeting,
please feel free to email me and I'll add them to the agenda at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Meetings It is important that we know
of frustrations. I do try to keep myself updated by the tracker and
this mailing list as to any issues that I perceive as needing a 'kick
up the bum', but stuff can sneak in under my radar and I rely on you
fantastic people to poke me to ensure that we do not have people
thinking there are serious bugs that are felt to be unloved. Having
had personally an un-loved bug, I do fully appreciate just how
frustrating it is!
Regards,
Phill.

Before I even get started please remember that I suffer from a
brain injury and my analysis may be extremely flawed ;^)
I rather think "cadence" should be changed to "early"! Are we
ready for iso-testing? This should be a point where we see if
we're even close to being ready. If we're not ready how do we
report that?
Regarding re-spins I don't know how we can possibly improve that.
If a serious bug is recognized by one of the devs there will be a
respin. But this is a serious bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/987418
It effects both Precise and Quantal but it seems to get no love :^(
Another is making a decision on Abiword:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/1019621
There comes a point where testers wonder if their testing even
matters. I've been testing since Hardy and I've never had less
confidence in the effect of my effort :^(
When testers feel they're no longer being listened to they will
stop testing.
Lance

Hi Nicholas,
in the past, the question has been raised about testers dong
tests, only for them to be deleted the next day as a respin
comes up. Are tests / bugs now being carried over?
what is the difference between cadence and the qa-testing
milestones?
I will ensure our wiki area is updated with your reply.
Regards,
Phill.

Cheers everyone. This week is a cadence week for iso
testing. What that means for us is to test all of our
ubuntu isos mandatory testcases at least once over the
course of the week. A big thank you to those who are
already leading the way on this with testing:
gregfaith, michael-kroll, fabiomarconi, and doak-jackson
These 4 have already reported results to the isotracker.
Thanks! You may have noticed that the i386 ubuntu images
had issues building, but by the time you read this those
should be resolved. If you need help, check out the
walkthrough page on the wiki and/or email the list. We're
happy to help anyone through there first tests case.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Walkthrough
Happy Testing everyone!
Nicholas
