[gentoo-dev] enroll users for testing packages
Hello, Sometimes it becomes a problem whenever a new release or a tricky bugfix comes up for a certain package. To improve QA we can let our userbase help, especially people who use certain packages quite heavily - they can provide good or even superior QA than devs. I think it would be a nice idea to keep a userlist for anyone who'd like to volunteer testing packages they regularly use. We can consider a web interface for enrolling users to specific packages, and maybe even get a bug.g.o account for the list, this way a bug can be opened for the testers to comment on whenever a change that requires testing or maybe just aiding arch teams to stablize packages. Maybe this was already pitched but it has just occured to me. Comments? -- Eldad Zack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Key/Fingerprint at pgp.mit.edu, ID 0x96EA0A93 pgppuoN1cj6W7.pgp Description: PGP signature

I've been hit by a bug in egroupware that's related to unicode. unicode-enabled mysql reserves string keys multiplied by 3, egroupware assumes (wrongly) that it won't cross the 1000 bytes key length boundry...

Is this a quirk or intentional:
# eselect kernel show
Current kernel symlink:
linux-2.6.14.3/
(notice the trailing slash there)
I've attached a quick and silly hack to clean it up.
