Hi all, [...] > # package quality > Advocate: Holger Levsen and Luk Claes > State: confirmed > Wiki: http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/PackagesQuality > > This is a never ending goal of sustaining our packages quality by > improving our tests and following up closely... so needless to say that > I would still advocate this one. > [...] I would advocate the idea behind this goal as well, yet I think as-is this isn't a very useful goal: how would we ever measure its achievement? To this end, I think, we need to give a much more precise definition of how we intend to measure "quality". For instance, we could fix lintian version x.y.z and state that we want to have 0 errors at the time of release. Similarly for piuparts. Or a bugs per package ratio. All of these are measurable and can be checked for, although of course they only give a very limited notion of "quality". Best regards, Michael
