Testing pool for Oneiric SRU

[Brendan Donegan]

Hi,

As the Oneiric -proposed kernel has become available for testing, we're 
about to commence with it. We're proposing to use our new testing pool 
functionality which you may have heard about to reduce the number of 
systems we need to test while still providing maximum device coverage. 
In a previous mail, Marc showed you the list of components that we've 
proposed as 'important' for the purpose of including at least one of 
each different device of that type in the testing pool. This is the list 
as it stands:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AphFraZYTghddElqTHl3NmZsWXVDYkMxcE5zX3EtR0E&hl=en_US#gid=0

and this is the testing pool it created:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApQ2JshzVOLydEtFOWxPZ2h6R3BhcDFDbnV4SHJuT1E

There is a link to the Ubuntu certification page for that system so you 
can have a look at which components it has. This is mainly for 
transparency.

As with Marc's email I would urge you to check the components on the 
first spreadsheet with an X next to them, as these are the ones that 
*are not* considered for the purposes of shrinking the testing pool. 
Marking one of them as important will allow the tool to include at least 
one system that includes each different component of that type and 
potentially *increase* the number of systems in the pool. The goal is to 
cover as much hardware as possible with a reasonably sized testing pool.

Thanks,
