Let me explain a little how it works. When we test a specific
milestone, like for example the mesa testing right now, we're
testing a specific build with the goal of verifying it as stable
and ready for general consumption. Images are tested this way too
-- when we have a specific milestone like an alpha or beta. At the
start of the milestone, the image is frozen and tested. If we find
bugs we need to fix, we'll rebuild the image and yes, we need new
results against the new image we built when that happens. The old
builds will be archived and available under the history link.<br>
<br>
However, the daily images are built automatically everyday no
matter what. We test against them as a checkup to ensure things
are running smooth, but we're not trying to release a specific
daily until we freeze it, make a milestone and call for specific
testing. Many folks test the image occasionally to see what's new,
spot regressions or bugs, etc. We do intentionally test the images
as part of our cadence testing, but again, that's once every
couple weeks, not everyday.<br>
<br>
So let's give some examples so you can see this in action. Again
take a look at mesa:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/266/builds">http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/266/builds</a><br>
<br>
There's only one build. Go ahead and click the "<a
href="http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/266/history">See
removed and superseded builds too</a>" link. It will only show
the one build.<br>
<br>
Now, try the same thing on unity testing from a few weeks ago:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/262/builds">http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/262/builds</a><br>
<br>
You'll notice the last build pushed has no results -- but we did
test it! The results are linked to the older builds. Click the "<a
href="http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/262/history">See
removed and superseded builds too</a>" link again. Noticed all
the builds and results? <br>
<br>
Make sense?<br>

<div>Istimsak, I see what happened :-) New builds are
posted daily, and it won't show your results on today's
build. If you want to see them you'll need to look at
yesterday's build:<br>
<br>
Here's your results from 4/7, 4/8, and 4/9 :-)<br>
