Here are some of the hard questions such a facility would have to address.<br /><br />1) What counts as a regression?<br /><br />2) How do you verify that a proposed regression is valid? <br /><br />3) How many people have to experience it before its a valid regression? <br /><br />4) And do you trust everyone to report problems accurately? <br /><br />5) How long is a potential regression allowed to wait before its either verfied or discarded?<br /><br />6) In your system how do you prevent misfiled regressions from preventing users from upgrading inappropriately for days or weeks or months?Jef Spaletahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11439754449677675460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834489264750020926.post-36638671152315140552009-11-16T11:36:52.513-08:002009-11-16T11:36:52.513-08:00I wish there was something that would prevent you ...I wish there was something that would prevent you from installing/upgrading Ubuntu if there is a regression on your hardware. <br /><br />A feature to notify users when the problem is fixed would be even cooler!Michael Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15154961353283725900noreply@blogger.com
