Fedora.us QA (was: Re: Prelink success story :))

[Toshio]

Hmm.... Not to say I haven't written enough for one day but my last
message has got me thinking it's harder to QA than to package.  (Not
package perfectly... just package.)

So maybe the assumption that QA is something easy for relative beginners
to contribute to Fedora is All Wrong(TM).  We should work on getting
fedora-newrpmtemplate to a new state of enlightenment, then throw it at
unsuspecting new packagers.  When tons of pregenerated-spec packages
start showing up in the QA Queue, we'll be able to write pseudo-code
critiques for our favorite programs and have someone else do the actual
work bwaa haa haa!

Seriously, maybe it would make more sense for more seasoned people to
concentrate on QA and leave good tools and new packagers to create the
initial packages.  There's a lot of boilerplate involved in creating a
package but it takes a lot of "I've done this before and somehow the way
it's done here makes my Spider Sense scream..." involved in checking
those packages for quality.
