You have a point. I picked Vino and Remmina, because 1) I like VNC networking, and did not want to cower away from learning something new 2) I started with these packages as an attempt to began contributing manual testcases 3) these packages are not currently being tested
Of course I could have, and should have, tested packages that I am familiar with. My idea, as a tester, is to test everything, not just what you like. If this kind of thinking is not logical, I am happy to change. Personally, I prefer doing things that come naturally to me ;-) On Thu, Jan 22, 2015 at 11:54 AM, Elfy <ub.u...@btinternet.com> wrote: > On 22/01/15 14:24, istimsak wrote: > > Hello everyone.
