Concerns about module quality

[Stefan Wold]

Hey guys.

I'm in whine mood right now and really have to release some of the 
pressure I've built up over quite some time. The last months the quality 
of commits have been rather low and we can't have it like this anymore. 
First of all we get angry users, I know that some of you don't care, but I 
do. Secondly it pisses me off too having to fix my boxes because someone 
didn't bother to thouroghly test their update.

This is my suggestion, it's time we start doing some quality assurance of 
"core" modules, such as Bash, Glibc, Xorg, Linux-PAM, expat etc etc. Make 
sure they build on different kernel/glibc/gcc combinations, or at least with 
the latest moonbase. That include both 2.4 and 2.6 
kernel headers! Also before they are allowed to be commited at least 2-3 
developers should have tested and approved the update. This will of course 
be a little more work for us, but I'm just talking about a list of 
core modules that always have to be tested with this procedure, not the 
whole moonbase because even I know that is impossible with the amount of 
developers we have today.

If you approve to this idea I suggest we start doing a list of core 
modules that has to go through this kind of testing.
