how many people use the testing repo?

ornitorrincos · 2008-01-26 11:45:10

I was just wondering that, or do the devs have any way of knowing how many of us use the repo?

I don't think we really have any numbers on that, to be honest.

i have in the past and it was prettttty bleeding stable but started getting breakage and went back cause testing lulz when i die

peart · 2008-01-26 16:11:45

I do.

I only use it part-time, for some packages (especially new pacman-versions). Point is that there are few reliable statistics, and you would probably never hear from the 90% of the testing-users, who don't encounter any problem. It is a little bit sad that devs get so little feedback, but if you don't have any point to complain about ...

I recently switched to testing and so far things are ok.

wain · 2008-01-26 17:37:38

I use [testing] too

peets · 2008-01-26 17:38:24

I use testing, and very rarely do I run into any problems. In fact, I use testing because upstream bugfixes get there faster!

nikron · 2008-01-26 18:16:43

I've used testing for a bit now, except for the kernel. I haven't had anything major break on me though.

baze · 2008-01-26 18:48:32

i've been constantly using testing for about a year or so now.

stonecrest · 2008-01-26 19:39:43

Been using it for years.

Sigi · 2008-01-26 20:03:52

I use it too, except for the new perl packages lately.

anykey · 2008-01-26 20:11:38

I use testing on both my laptop and desktop, with few hassles sometimes.

I have not encountered any serious bugs by using testing yet.

bender02 · 2008-01-26 20:55:50

I use testing too; it get rough at times (about twice a year; like just few days ago with kernel26-2.6.24-1 and acpi), but nothing serious. Much more stable then stable gentoo I was using before

Cilyan · 2008-01-28 06:12:07

I use [testing] only to test one package each time. At the moment it is nvidia 169.09 and kernek 2.6.24

wantilles · 2008-01-28 07:08:31

Some times I grab a few selective packages from testing, put them in my local repo (repo-add) and use them.

Usually it is the new nVidia VGA driver.

cactus.ed · 2008-01-30 09:23:16

I always grab the latest kernel form testing....

My laptop has been running testing for around a year now, however I like to keep my desktop stable and tested
