Greetings Mike,
I'll be happy to sponsor you into the proventesters group. Please take
a moment to read through the [
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Proven_tester
proventester instructions]. As a proventester, our job isn't to
exhaustively find all defects in a software update. The focus is to
determine whether the proposed software update negatively impacts core
system functionality. Pay particular attention to the documented feedback
procedures.
Once you have read the instructions, please confirm that you ...
1. have read and understand the instructions, and intend to follow the
instructions when testing Fedora critical path updates
2. understand how to enable the update-testing repository
3. are familiar with providing test feedback using either the
[
http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/ Bodhi web interface], or the
[
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Easy_Karma fedora-easy-karma
utility]
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Once I hear
back, I'll sponsor your membership in the proventesters group.
Dear James
Thank you for the offer to sponsor me. I have read and understood the
prove_tester instructions at the Fedora Wiki, and have been using the
updates-testing repo enabled for a significant number of tests of pre-
release packages since the earliest days of Fedora (since FC1). I am also
familiar with the process to add karma and comments to tested packages via
bodhi, though I have not explicitely used the fedora-easy-karma facility
yet.
I have been following the debate on establishing the proventester group
with interest, and am happy with the process. I look forward to helping in
the QA effort with Fedora package testing including critpath packages, and
at present have Fedora 12 and 13 running on several machines.
Mike
