As qa I need a back to packager button

[Dave Morley]

Often as QA I need to send a package back with a comment to iamfuzz for an issue in packaging. Currently this is not possible I need to send it all the way back to the developer who doesn't need to touch the application at all.

Can I have a Back to Packaging button please, with a section in the packaging teams window that shows comments. Many thanks.

1. As someone with review privileges, go to <https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/qa/>.
2. Choose one of the packages.
3. Choose "QA review".
4. Try to return the item to the packager with comments.

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperSite/ApplicationTracking#reviewing>: "When “Return to the packager for corrections” is selected, the comment field should be “Your message to the packager:”."

As submissions increase in numbers this is becoming more of an issue. Apps are sitting in pending qa for long periods due to the lack of a reminder that something needs to be fixed in packaging.

Please attach a full screenshot of the relevant page, or provide complete instructions on how I can access the page for an example app in this state. Thanks.

Any app in Pending QA qualifies for this. Dave Morley will have to get you a screenshot of a app in pending QA. My suggestion would be to return to the Review in Progress queue so that a reviewer can further process it.

mpt:

This is what my review page looks like so the back to packaging button would just go in here, see attached screenshot.

Then it would need a way to highlight it had been sent back to packaging. Which I believe is mostly in place as there is a Last comment and who wrote it on the overview page.

Thanks Dave. Design spec updated, with a wireframe showing how to include the new option. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperSite/ApplicationTracking?action=diff&rev2=8&rev1=6>

Perfect.
