Ack to what Daniel wrote. In addition neither are other - be it Suse or 3rd party - changes gated on Debian/Ubuntu testing them. If I fail to catch the changes on the ML-discussion as part of staring at my inbox, then the testing for us happens whenever we merge a new upstream version. The general rule of thumb that we not-strictly followed in recent times aret: - logical changes e.g. to virt-aa-helper will have a build time self-test associated - labelling changes (related to hot add for example) are usually up for discussion a bit longer and tested by the author in the context that the issues were found - rule allow-additions (like the one here) are discussed and added if there are no security concerns I don't remember we've made anything more restrictive recently, that would probably be somewhere between the latter two points above. The duration also depends on the complexity - in this particular case as Michal already stated there isn't a high chance of breaking something with it. OTOH I'm fine to work out something more official/established if you want to define something - but keep in mind that many of us do this as a fraction of a part of their duties. Due to that sometimes human/machine time isn't available for short round trip times which are needed for a formal gating process. > Regards, > Daniel > -- > |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| > |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| > |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :| > -- Christian Ehrhardt Staff Engineer, Ubuntu Server Canonical Ltd
