Fedora's New Test Lead Plans Changes
lisah writes "According to a NewsForge article by Bruce Byfield, new Fedora test lead Will Woods has a laundry list of changes he plans on making to enhance the Fedora testing process. 'There's always someone who will comment that Fedora is just Red Hat's beta test for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL),' says Woods. 'It's not true, and I want no one to have cause to say that ever again.'"
I hope they fix that nasty bug with Rhythmbox where it shipped with no list of internet radio stations whatsoever, as well as no mp3, aac, or wma support. That sort of defeated the whole point of the application. And I couldn't help but notice that the Totem movie player, can't actually play any movies. Oh, and the helix player doesn't actually work either. The workarounds consist of upgrading from unsupported repositories and generally mucking about in your root account.
Hopefully these new test procedures will be able to identify the problems with these applications and, if found unfixable, the applications in question will be removed from the repositories.
May the Maths Be with you!
The summary seems to imply that Fedora will now be less a beta for RHEL but the article discusses in depth how Fedora is now going to be using testing tools from RHEL and how they obviously have obligations to RHEL. If this doesn't provide more evidence that Fedora *is* just a beta for RHEL I don't what will.
