+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> This then bring to the simple question is &quot;why did we have more

+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> My own opinion is that because packaging was opened to external
+</I>&gt;<i> contribution since almost the start ( since 10 years, packagers number
+</I>&gt;<i> have growth ), while QA was not, and I suppose that was due to a lack of
+</I>&gt;<i> time devoted on making QA more open ( ironically likely due to a lack of
+</I>&gt;<i> ressources at the first place ).
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> And so, I think we are now in a totally different situation. QA will be
+</I>&gt;<i> more open, because it cannot be closed. We can ( and I think we should )
+</I>&gt;<i> make the QA ressources grow with the packagers one ( among others ).
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> So how can we do ?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> While this may not seems apparent at first sight, I think that Fedora is
+</I>&gt;<i> actually leading in term of community QA process ( we still had the lead
+</I>&gt;<i> in term of automated QA ).
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Basically, packages that are updated requires to be noted, with a system
+</I>&gt;<i> of karma ( <A HREF="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bodhi_Guide#Karma">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bodhi_Guide#Karma</A> ).
+</I>&gt;<i> Positive karma, the update is pushed, negative, it is not.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Anybody can test anything, even if there is also a proven tester group.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> There is even the concept of critical path packages, aka very important
+</I>&gt;<i> package that must be deeply tested
+</I>&gt;<i> ( <A HREF="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Critical_Path_Packages">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Critical_Path_Packages</A> ).
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Of course, the system is not perfect and will not solve everything. For
+</I>&gt;<i> example, last week, openldap update broke server functionality :
+</I>&gt;<i> ( <A HREF="http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2010-November/146097.html">http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2010-November/146097.html</A> )
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> But still, having community enabled QA is a great way to have every grow
+</I>&gt;<i> properly.
+</I>&gt;<i> And in fact, that's exactly one of the feature of your project
+</I>&gt;<i> mageia-app-db. So we could indeed have a better QAteam by easing the
+</I>&gt;<i> work of community, using mageia-app-db. Ie, take regular user, and turn
+</I>&gt;<i> them in QA team member.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> And so, doing like this would enable to give us :
+</I>&gt;<i> - real involvement from some users
+</I>&gt;<i> - balanced community, not overwhelmed by technical maniac packagers
+</I>&gt;<i> ( like me )
+</I>&gt;<i> - having a better Qa, for a better system
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> So while nothing is done, while I am not a member of the QA team nor a
+</I>&gt;<i> leader, while I just speak to voice my opinion, and while this is just a
+</I>&gt;<i> proposal based on what other have done to solve the same issue than us,
+</I>&gt;<i> this show that we can have more ressources than what Mandriva had.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>why this kind of &quot;competition&quot;?
+&gt;<i> Ie, we need to think with a fresh mind, and I am sure that people can
+</I>&gt;<i> creatively propose solutions on the problem :
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> &quot;how can we have a more balanced QA and packagers team&quot;.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>What you are saying is good, and I would like to extend what you posted
+with what follows. IMHO we are trying to focus too much on what it was
+wrong to forget what it was already good, like if what was already good
+in the distro would be granted by default (e.g. trying to focus too much
+on what is already in ANY of the 100 distrowatch.com distros: all of
+them have the same core-packages on the other hand] to forget what is
+was already good or better: e.g. good support for extra hardware, better
+support for scientific applications, etc.).
+
+We should summarize what there is from what there isn't in the distro.
+The 2nd problems is that we seem assigning to most packagers and
+maintainers some secret powers that they should have, like knowing the
+package better or at the same level than upstream developers. If not,
+then there are lack of resources...; maybe they just know how to
+assemble and compile it...and that's all. IMHO knowing the package at
+such high levels has become the exception, not the rule. One
+packager/maintainer might know very very well 1 or maybe 3,4 packages
+(e.g. colin for pulseaudio, buchan for samba, me for tex and so on), but
+there are 10000 packages out there and there aren't 5000 maintainers...
+
+I give you an example. In MDV 2010.0 or 2010.1 the kdenlive package, a
+video editing application, was not working at all. It crashes on basic
+stuff as soon as you open or import a video file. In other words
+unusable. How was possible that? Well, one might say poor QA, bad
+packagers, bad maintainers or no maintainers at all, or no QA at all. It
+your fault, it's their fault, it's our fault. Indeed it doesn't matter.
+The main problem is that we rely as main source of QA the bugzilla. So
+what is reported on bugzilla has a bug that we should fix, what there
+isn't should work by default and has automagically an higher QA score.
+IMHO this is a false assumption. I might find it crashes and be lazy and
+not doing any bugzilla report, or I'm not sure about what to tell
+exactly, because maybe I think it's fault of my configuration, and so
+on. In the specific example backports have a working kdenlive (maybe
+it's just luck, dunno) but according to the supposed QA score the
+kdenlive in main should be better than the one in backports. And indeed
+it isn't because any program barely working is better than any program
+crashing on startup.
+To solve this there are a lot of solution, but it's not said that the
+one or the other should influence people to use this distro and not
+another, like we might think. E.g.
+
+1) We might move kdenlive from good main to evil contrib or remove
+kdenlive from the distro? Well, a non-existing package won't crash. And
+so distro would result more polished, ordered (I like ordered and
+cleaned distro with no broken deps in hdlists, really) should rock. But
+from point of view of an end user he don't have any video editing
+application anyway. So who cares of the others packages he won't use?
+
+2) We might let people know that the backport version works. So more
+communcation here.
+
+3) We might add several new rules and weights on the shoulders of the
+maintainers/packagers. A packager could fly away, so letting these rules
+on the shoulders of the other survived packagers which then will be more
+overloaded, and then could fly away more. Sound a bit like the
+&quot;highlander&quot; packager...
+
+4) We might help to let these rules easier, lighter and quicker to be
+implemented (more communcation, self or packagers helping each others,
+more automatic tools)
+
+5) Add a precise protocol of testing for each package. This might be
+automatic or manual (or both). In case of manual, the testing protocol
+steps might be performed by anyone. But shouldn't go in the destructive
+spiral of more rules. Documentation should be crystal clear, and
+information should be easy to catch not let users waste days and days
+trying to find the right thing to do, in seeking good documentation
+between tons of obsolete and bad one. Also the report of the testing
+should be easy to post, not opening 27 sites, scroll between 18000
+packages, wait 10 minutes the server answers, or sending 84 mails and
+wait answer from 54 different people...; In case of kdenlive, a basic
+protocol test could be like this: 1) install the package 2) Go on menu
+Project/Add clip and open the file blabla.avi HERE... 3) Go on menu
+Monitor/Clip and click on the button &quot;play&quot; 4) ... 5) rely also on the
+upstream protocol testing if exists 6) report it works by a couple of
+clicks. This won't require specific skill and even users who might not
+have ever used this package could partecipate.
+
+5) Punish the one who uploaded the package. Blocking it for one lap.
+Well this is a bit scaring ;-) Don't do that.
+
+6) Any combination of the above.
+
+Second problem is that there also any referring to documentation
+support, but speak only from point of view of packagers. We might have
+things that are rock solid, but if nobody knows how to use them... ;-)
+
+Bye
+Giuseppe.

+(Thanks for looking these up. Good idea.)
+
+Let's remember that the question for these packages is not the quality
+of their functioning - but rather the advisability to use them, for
+other reasons, in some countries.
+So I think that it is better to avoid words that could question the
+QUALITY of the packages.
+
+Words in the list like
+ ambiguous, debatable, problematic, and speculative
+avoid questioning the quality ... but could be too long or too formal.
+Or just not catchy enough ;)
+(&quot;Iffy&quot; might be ok - certainly catchy enough.)
+
+Additional words I found in Roget's thesaurus, along the same lines :
+
+Associated more with debatable :
+arguable, contestable, controvertible, disputable, questionable,
+
+Associated more with controversial :
+confutable, deniable, mistakable, moot
+
+Of these additional words, I think that &quot;contestable&quot;, &quot;disputable&quot;, and
+&quot;controversial&quot; are probably closest to the SENSE of the repositories.
+But maybe too formal ?
+
+Many of these words could be good choices.
+And maybe someone will come up with some more ?
+
+my 2 cents :)
