Hi,

re below from Robie

> ask a Technical Board member for an exception

  please can I ask for an exception for our package budgie-extras
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1881261 (microrelease from v1.0.1 to
v1.0.2)

The background here is that budgie-extras is a series of applets that
the Ubuntu Budgie team have developed and and continue to maintain for
budgie-desktop users.

As we move forward to 20.10 we have backported a number of fixes that
have been reported to us via different distros, github, our support
forum etc. On the whole we don't use launchpad to track bugs.

This v1.0.2 microrelease is in use by a number of distros for a couple
of months now (https://repology.org/project/budgie-extras/versions).
The manual test suite is described in the issue SRU template itself.
These are fixed issues for GUI based applets to budgie-desktop and
cannot have automatic type tests - hence the manual test steps in the
SRU itself.

Happy to clarify - or just ping me via IRC

thx

David (Project Lead Ubuntu Budgie)

Ah - sorry. Are you saying that you are covering _every_ change you're
making in the proposed SRU with a manual test that you will perform
during SRU verification? If so, sorry I didn't realise this was the case
- usually there'd be a separate bug reference for each one.

In that case, I don't think this is a TB item - we (SRU team) can just
accept that because it achieves the spirit of what the TB have said they
want.

Please could you confirm the above is correct, and if so, I can just
proceed, unless someone objects.

Response from myself to robie

Hi Robie,

  yes I can confirm that the SRU contains the complete test coverage
for all the backported issues for this microrelease.
