Re: [OVC-demo-team] Toward developing testing protocools

OK, David, I'm talking with Fred to see if this is a strategic time
to follow your instructions; I've got a productive Fedora Core 1 lashup
at the
moment; don't want to blast it away untill I have to.
What's your timeline on this?

Meanwhile, David, thank you for giving me an explicit process to follow.

-------------------------
REF:
Let me defer to Karl and/or Fred for your actual instructions. But I
would find it wortwhile to know whether you can:
 
    1) Install Fedora 1 (virgin system)
    2) Update to Python 2.3
    3) Install PyQt (with whatever dependencies)
    4) uznip BRP.zip
    5) cd brp; ./run_brp
 
If that works without any glitches or fussing, we're close to being able
to hand BRP to other demonstrators/reporters/etc.
 
Of course, we also need to iron out remaining bugs. Those I know about
are (from Fred):
 
    (1) When scanning a ballot, the machine jumps to the next screen.
 
    (2) The tabulation at the end is wrong, it's a fudged screen Eron
        dumped in at the last moment.
 
    (3) There are also spurious errors reading CDs.
 
I only know as much as Fred reports, since I have not yet duplicated
these problems myself. However, (2) *may* be related to the convert.py
bug that I fixed (after having myself created previously).

It seems I am within irresistible swoon;
I thought not this could happen so soon:
