Public bug reported: In GNOME Software the editors picks are showing 10 of however many are tagged in the store as 'featured'. However the list is randomized. I believe we agreed not to randomize this list, but keep the list the same so we can effectively measure the benefit of being in slot 1 vs slot 10 (for example).
Indeed in bug 1705953 and bug 1705953 we make reference to debian/patches/0048-Don-t-randomize-editors-picks.patch which suggests we should indeed not randomize the editors picks, but this doesn't appear to be working. Attached is a screenshot showing the current selection. However the list is as follows:- zenkit notepadqq vscode gravit-designer eclipse sublime-text noson hugo signal-desktop audovia corsixth zulip cloudtag discrographer htop ao codenamelt bitwarden mosquitto wekan nextcloud docker canonical-livepatch hiri ** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2018-05-25 14-21-20.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1773369/+attachment/5144256/+files/Screenshot%20from%202018-05-25%2014-21-20.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1773369 Title: Editors pics are random To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1773369/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
