[Sugar-devel] Debian Advocacy for Sugar - Update - 13-June-2020

[James Cameron]

Thanks.

Successful tests are also useful because (a) it helps others see how to test, (b) it helps others see what has been tested.  It is difficult to know how much testing is done based only on problem reports.

Please do continue to report the problems briefly, regardless of if they are assessed as Debian or Sugar Labs.  What I was trying to say is that I won't work on or investigate the problems based on your reports here, as that would distract from your reporting, my mentoring, and create two places for technical discussion; the GitHub issue and the thread here.
