It's not that bad. > So.. I think it would be better to write a new one (maybe based on the > good ideas from the other three applications you said). Creating *another* new installer, when there are already two (fapman & appdownloader) would seem a little superfluous! They're FLOSS, fix them! Anyway, the reason enhancing HAM is better is because it's the one which is always installed. The problem with KISStester is that you have to actively install it, same with all the others. With the push the CSSU should be getting, it should be in more users' hands. Unless we take extraordinary (and almost certainly self-defeating) actions like requiring KISStester to be installed to use any software from Extras-(devel|testing). That's not to say that a firm push behind KISStester wouldn't help with the QA process. I certainly like the idea of it a) doing automated checks and b) using notifications if I've installed a new version of an app and haven't rated it in a week.
