About unit tests - Marius Gedminas

Marius Gedminas — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 18:59:41 +0200

I cannot count the cases where I wrote unit tests that found bugs in trivial functions I was absolutely certain were error-free.

Unit tests are very useful.

About unit tests - Steve

Steve — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 15:56:17 +0200

Probably a little of both

Actually I've found unit tests to be extremely useful for coding, and I try to add them to all new code I touch.

Why you won't use MySQL/ndb - jd

For now I have not been able to reproduce the bug, so I keep my fingers crossed

Why you won't use MySQL/ndb - Stewart Smith

There have been a good number of bug fixes in the gap between .31 and .41 for NDB, so .41 will no doubt end up being a lot better.

I haven't seen the bug you describe before... so perhaps it's something related to the debian package. (certainly report it to the debian BTS, debian packaging of MySQL is fairly good..).

Certainly if you can repeat it with .41, we'll get right on it... as it would certainly be a new bug.

The man who did not know he had an amd64 - Julien

Hi,

Thanks for your detailed explanations!

It is a really strange feeling...

Cheers, Julien

Hello Julien !

You're right, lm means 'long mode', so you're machine is an amd64 too! Welcome to my life!

IA64 are Itanium processors, not Pentium, and are real 64 bits processor AFAIK.

If you have 'lm' flag, it means that you have support fort 64 bits instructions, like AMD processors have.

"amd64" arch is the name of the arch, but it also support em64t processor like we have. Take a look on: http://www.debian.org/ports/amd64/

I am not sure which improvement it can gives to you on a desktop machine, especially that you may have problem with something like proprietary Flash player (it does not exists for other arch than i386). Anyway such limitation can be bypassed by using a i386 chroot (32 bit code (i386) is executable with amd64 architecture).

If you want to know why it's better take a look : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 or http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD64 (french)

Cheers.

Hi,

Just wondering how what you think is a Pentium 4 can be and amd64? I have just checked my cpuinfo and discovered the same thing on my main machine!

lm means "long mode", ie. 64 bits instructions support, am I right? But how do you know it is amd64 (which I would have considered to be only for AMD processors), and not IA64?

I think I have understood that amd64 is also for EM64T processors. EM64T processors are the newer 64bits architecture from Intel, thus I can guess that any recent processor is amd64 and not EM64T...

I am quite lost with that.

What are the improvements in such cases? Do you think it is really worth "reinstalling" a desktop machine?

Cheers, Julien

It's still possible to downgrade RC bugs which are not really ones.

I appreciate it is slightly tongue in cheek, but some of the release critical bugs still appear to be not release critical. Some even only occuring on architectures that Etch won't release on.

Perhaps we need /. style moderation, where if your previous bug reports are categorized too highly you lose the karma to place new release critical bugs.

Did I just read Windows Vista will release "when it is ready", those guys at Redmond are learning quick

I said "people like Steinar". Not only Steinar.

I meant, people working on fixing RC bugs.

There's still too many DD working in their corner and increasing the RC count.

Debian Developers, you all suck - Jon

Jon — Fri, 28 Jul 2006 23:40:29 +0000

I think Steinar's work is brilliant and a true inspiration: However, he's not the only person working hard. If you read about the fixes he's done, often it's "fix by NMU using patch in the BTS". Great. Someone else has written the patch. If you are a DD, you can NMU and upload the fix. If you are not, what motivation do you have to work on the bug count, if credit goes to whoever takes your work and uploads it on your behalf?
