Re: [Libreoffice-qa] Bibisect Roundup
Hi Robinson I'm not sure I understand this bibi stuff but isn't it easier to have a user friendly version that just runs the last release of each branch (actually that is what I do with portable versions under Windows)? This would locate the branch. Then when the branch is located, run the final version for each release. This would give you the subversion. If the bug/regression is located between two subversions then run each release (betas, RCs or dailies if available) The first two steps are quite easy and at the moment should take around 2-3Gb each (6 versions x ~350Mb) The last step could be left for the advanced QA people :) Does this make sense or am i missing the point about bibi?

Robinson Tryon wrote I'm not sure I understand this bibi stuff but isn't it easier to have a user friendly version that just runs the last release of each branch (actually that is what I do with portable versions under Windows)? What kind of search pattern do you use? It is not that sophisticated. If there is a bug, load it in latest version, if I can replicate it: bug is confirmed. Repeat procedure with 4.0.6 portable: if bug exists go to previous branch if not it's a regression from branch 4.0. If bug exists in all portable builds including 3.3.4 then it's inherited from OOo Of course this is a first coarse approach but it takes me 6 tries to narrow down to the branch level...

Sounds interesting :) Can you do the same for tracing an LO crash under Windows? :) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Libreoffice-qa-Bibisect-Roundup-tp4087994p4088014.html Sent from the QA mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/

That is *not* English :) Developese is not one of my languages ;) I meant easier than triaging a bug as in even a dumb non-developer can do that without having to installing 10Gb of SDKs and whatnots ;) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Libreoffice-qa-Bibisect-Roundup-tp4087994p4088018.html Sent from the QA mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/
