I have added the test cases to Wiki, but I don’t see Test Cases tab for present mesa builds. Are test cases picked up by new builds only, or have I done something wrong?
All of this got me thinking. @pemensik has mentioned discoverability.
I see a way to track mesa builds with RSS. If I am interested only in Fedora version I am currenly using, is there a way to get notifications for f43 mesa builds only?
Going further, lets imagine a non-very-technial person using Fedora for gaming, audio/video/picture editing, CAD, education, etc. without knowing particular packages affecting their use cases. Nevertheless, they may be interested in testing such packages in advance, on their own schedule, to make sure that nothing unexpected happens and their workflows are not going to be disturbed.
It may be beneficial to have an easy way for end-users to get notified (if they opt-in) on new updates-testing builds affecting applications they rely on. It is likely non-trivial to implement a system like that, but it may be something worth considering strategically.
Basically something like
$ sudo dnf check-update --enablerepo=updates-testing
accenting affected user-facing applications and providing better granularity.
Ideally, as a notification not relying on user logging into their PC to receive it.
I may be misremembering, but Gnome-Software and KDE-Discover are doing not that great with regular updates, aren’t they? Bundling most of packages into “System” category, not displaying affected user-facing applications, giving no option to update/downgrade packages affecting single user-facing application etc.
