For environments requiring setup (MongoDB, Oracle, Elasticsearch) the is really a team effort where we rely on our community to test release candidates, and in this case review a pull request.
In this specific case, if we had a volunteer to setup an online test (using Oracle XE) we would be able to provide faster / better service with lower effort. The test provides its own data and is setup with this environment in mind. As Andrea indicated we lack a passionate module maintainer for Oracle, if you two have knowledge on this is a great opportunity to take part. -- Jody Garnett On Wed, 15 Apr 2020 at 09:45, Mats Elfström <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Andrea et al! > Lack of access to certain environments seem to be a returning problem in > FOSS development.
