There has been talk in #ubuntu-quality about a new method of
following specific packages throughout the whole cycle, rather than
for a week at a time.<br>
<br>
This is in addition to the current image testing which will still go
on at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/270/builds">http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/270/builds</a><br>
<br>
We have some example/prototypes (these are likely to change with no
notice, hence the current screenshots as attached) to look at <br>
<br>
<blockquote><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://packages.qa.dev.stgraber.org/qatracker/milestones/252/builds">http://packages.qa.dev.stgraber.org/qatracker/milestones/252/builds</a>

<br>
which is an overview of packages that we can follow, or <br>
<br>
<blockquote><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://packages.qa.dev.stgraber.org/qatracker/milestones/253/history">http://packages.qa.dev.stgraber.org/qatracker/milestones/253/history</a>

<br>
which is following one package throughout the whole cycle.<br>
<br>
I prefer the 2nd more detailed type - we can follow things for as
short or long a time as we want to, and given that we quite often
are looking for people to test things at short notice it could well
be helpful to the way we have to work.<br>
<br>
What we need to know now, apart from thoughts on the whole idea, is
what packages the team thinks we should use this for. <br>
<br>
Personally I can see a case for both short and long milestones, if
we get xfce4.12 into the mix then I'd assume having the ability to
watch bugs and test for longer periods is going to help us as a
team. <br>
<br>
<br>
The over-riding point being that we can use this new system how we
want to. <br>
