Re: flavors for testing packages by testing team

[Rohit Joshi <rj.rohit@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bruno (aka blconde),

Reporting on forum is the fastest and the preferred way. Everyone
reads it and can offer you a solution.

After discussing on the forums, if this is a genuine problem affecting
a particular package/slitaz tools, please add this on lab issues. We
track lab issues and close the reported one as and when we have time.

The developers are doing some private discussions about
internalization after your post on the forum. So, important post are
read and actions are taken in background :-)
