Hi Thomas,

we are sort of reorganizing the danish qa-proces, and we would like to

now it seams that there are only some milestones)
It will only be the milestones that have new translations in them.
The
reason is that we want to get an overview over the qa-progres, and
distribute the RC over the mirror network
RC builds are already distributed over a limited section of the
mirror network that is called the extended mirror network. For QA
purposes, often a single server is enough to distribute the builds
for one language or OS. The new chart CWS had a high demand for a CWS
being tested and was on one server, which coped fine. The Aqua port
on Mac OS X of ooo however requires both the mirror network and
BitTorrent to distribute due to the high demand.
The platforms that we
currently tests are: linux intel (deb+rpm), windows and hopefully soon
mac
All X11 Mac builds are currently produced by maho and placed on the
FTP server at
ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/
I try to add all the Mac rc builds in one go to QATrack.
<random thought>
I'm beginning to wonder if we should be tracking the QA of other
master milestone/cws builds too, to see if they would pass QA? Thus
QATrack would be able to show up bad master milestones and CWSs
early. A much better filtering system would need to be provided for
this.
Integration into EIS would also be another possibility if full
testing on all platforms was needed for some CWSs. It would also
potentially get more testing of MWS [=master milestone] builds,
through greater visibility. They are currently pretty much untested
in the community. This would reduce the shock bang, oh we have a
problem at the last minute.
</random thought>
we also would like to ask if it is possible to distribute
our own iso (boundled windows-installer, java and documentation)
over the
mirror network ... suppose that this should go via the qatrack as well
There will be no problem adding them to BitTorrent for distribution.
It might be an issue for adding them to the full mirror network.
if any questions or doubts, please ask
I still do not know
exactly how this works
Don't worry, I'm sure it will all fall into place soon.
