<PRE>Michael Scherer a écrit :

</I>><i> ...
</I>><i>
</I>><i> - Someone request a backport ...
</I>><i>
</I>><i> - a packager decide to do it. ...
</I>><i>
</I>><i> - I am not sure on this part, but basically, we have 2 choices :
</I>><i> - the packager take the cauldron package and push to backport testing
</I>><i> - the packager move the cauldron package in svn to backport, and there
</I>><i> send it to backport testing.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Proposal 1 mean less work duplication, but proposal 2 let us do more
</I>><i> customization.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> ...
</I>><i>
</I>><i> This way :
</I>><i> - packages are not sent untested, thus raising confidence in backports
</I>><i> - the QA should not be overloaded, and can focus on updates
</I>><i> - sysadmins are not overloaded
</I>><i> - people requesting backport see how QA work, and are involved into the
</I>><i> distribution as testers, thus creating a much healthier discussion with
</I>><i> packagers, and creating more incentive to help. And since they request
</I>><i> the package, they will be motivated to test more than stuff they do not
</I>><i> use.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> WDYT ?
</I>
Overall I think that it is an excellent approach, for the reasons given.
I don't yet understand the difference between proposal 1 and 2, so for the moment I don't have a
preference.
Even though bugzilla might seem a bit cumbersome for requesting backports, otherwise I think that
it is an excellent tool for this purpose.
We could perhaps have some sort of shortcut for filing backport requests.
