Shortcut upgrades

Some packages will be urgent bug fixes in response to an external API change or critcial bug. In addition to a package owner (or repository master) being able to pull a package on-demand; the promotion capability to -testing should have a Critical bug-fix box (if, and only if, the package already exists in Apps). This will:

  • Add a large box to the evaluation page saying: "The package maintainer has indicated that this release fixes a critical bug. No new functionality should be introduced, as the QA criteria have been relaxed.
  • All the requirements below will be halved (e.g. 5 day quarantine, 5 net positive votes for inclusion, 1 net positive vote for uninstallation)
  • An additional question will be mandatory:
Question Possible answers Requirement
Introduces new functionality? Yes No n - y > 5 Mandatory

Regular reporting will be done over the use of the critical fix flag. If testers or packagers are found to be abusing it, they will be banned from further testing and/or use of the flag for a period (to be determined).
