Hi Mechtilde,

In my view there are different problems.
1. the different build environments, not only ooo-build or vanilla. Each
distri has its own environment with some small differences.
Sure, that is a challenge, but of course it is the package maintainer's duty
to fix those.
2. the more or less missing QA-Process.
Not sure what are you talking about? Are you saying that go-oo has no QA
process? - that would be a complete news to me :-)
The fact that we differ in the development style (everyone commits the patches
directly to the main repository, no CWSes, and the possibility for bugs
coming from integration/merges of various CWSes), does not mean that we do
not have a QA process.
We have a tinderbox that notifies committers of wrong commits, we release
betas in timely manner, have quite an extensive test plan (in our Testopia),
run qatesttool during the beta phase & analyze the results, have a large set
of documents for regression testing, etc. Oh yes, I must not forget the bug
triage of the new bugs which guarantees the initial treatment of the new bugs
in up to a (working) day or two.
Mechtilde and you are talking about different QA processes. What you
are writing is developer orientated testing. This is done for OOo often
before a CWS goes to a QA community member. So the manual testing and
the regression testing on UI level is missing in your processes. And
most of the community members in the QA project are doing only manual
testing on UI level. So one major part of Quality Assurance (or QA
management) for Software is missing in your process.
I talked about the complexity of Quality Assurance for OOo on the
OOoCon in Beijing. If you are interested in you can see the video
or can take the presentation from :
