Folks, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=400590 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=401351 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=404157 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=404612 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405193
(and masses of similar stuff I didn't find yet, plus masses of similar stuff from other programs than Ekiga) I talk to other developers (not Ekiga) from time to time, most of them tend to ignore Ubuntu Edgy reports, as usually Edgy itself is broken, not the program that is reported (broken libraries, insane installations, well, we know it from http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359655). This entirely broken distribution seems to crash some applications randomly and totally without deeper logic. Not only applications, they also refuse to ship fixed kernel modules, instead they ignore these floods of reports from their users. To make it clear, I don't say it's always Ubuntu Edgy that crashes Ekiga, but 90% of the bugreports we get out of this area point to a broken installation, broken libraries, incorrrect dependencies etc... That's something I would not wonder about on a self-made installation like LFS, but not on a "professional", "commercial", "up to date" variant of Debian. "Testing" is not an excuse here, as it means something really different, and Debian testing (just as example) proofs that QA mechanisms also work for unstable software. For Ubuntu Edgy it seems, it's not related to technical reasons, it's related to politics. Sorry for the noise, I just needed a valve J. -- God is real... unless declared as integer. _______________________________________________ Ekiga-devel-list mailing list Ekiga-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-devel-list
