bodhi says of my update:
bodhi - 2011-06-10 05:03:46
This update has reached 3 days in testing and can be pushed to stable now
if the maintainer wishes
But clicking the "mark as stable" button says:
This update has not yet met the minimum testing requirements defined in
the Package Update Acceptance Criteria
Reading the linked to document "Package Update Acceptance Criteria" is
completely unhelpful. How do I push this update to stable?
Thanks.
I guess they bumped the minimum testing time to 7 days now that Fedora 15 is
stable. :-(
IMHO, 3 days was much better. Due to pushing delays, it effectively means ~7
days between filing and the push to stable anyway. One of the arguments for
setting the interval to 7 days was that people might not be able to test the
update in less time because of pushing delays, but pushing delays are
already explicitly NOT counted in the 7 days, the time measured is the time
between effective availability in testing and request of the stable push. I
fail to see how 3 days for that would not be sufficient to get people to
test updates. (Well, gnome-packagekit stupidly does not notify about all
updates in a timely manner anymore, but that's a regression in gnome-
packagekit and must be fixed there. We really need to notify users of
available updates at least once a day! I personally have KPackageKit set to
check for updates hourly.) This 7-day timeout effectively turns into 7 days
+ TWO push delays, which is often 10+ days.
(And of course, I still don't understand why we can't let the maintainer
decide with his/her own brain when his/her update has received sufficient
testing. Thinking is what brains are for, computers suck at it.)
