Topic: Lots of problems solved in Bug Tracker, Help Verify them

[stephen noble]

The Bug Tracker gets a lot of bad press. But it's where problems are fixed.

There are 50 odd bugs fixed ready to be verified.

Instead of leaving it to Gavin who has verified most of the bugs in the last year lets all help.

check HELP and REPORTS in the headers for more information

most fixed rpms will be in smetest
http://wiki.contribs.org/Package_Modification#Workflow

so, for example
yum update smeserver-qpsmtpd --enablerepo=smetest

and do this on your test/vmware server

It seems not all packages are in smetest, for instance e-smith-proftpd from bug 993, perhaps something to fix as I am willing to help verify.

Not all packages are build and pushed to the repositories yet (as I just received word from the dev-team).

Just wanted to say a big thanks to all (Michael & Jonathan) for the bugs verified so far, it allows me to get more done, we would love a few more of you guys and girls to come over and help

What's exactly invovled in "verifying" A bug or a solution?

[stephen noble]

the answer should be here, if it's vague it should be updated
http://wiki.contribs.org/Bugzilla_Help#Working_on_Bugs

have a look at recent bugs verified by gavin
he show the existing problem,  and demonstrates the problem no longer exists

not sure if just anyone can toggle the verify status
but you can doc the verification steps

I've clarified the Verification process

56 verified, thanks
33 still to go

some can be closed, eg. invalid or wontfix
