Cooperative Bug Isolation for Fedora 10

[news 28]

The Cooperative Bug Isolation Project (CBI) is now available for Fedora

10. CBI (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/) is an ongoing research effort to

find and fix bugs in the real world. We distribute specially modified

versions of popular open source software packages. These special

versions monitor their own behavior while they run, and report back how

they work (or how they fail to work) in the hands of real users like

you. Even if you've never written a line of code in your life, you can

help make things better for everyone simply by using our special

bug-hunting packages.

 

We currently offer instrumented versions of Evolution, The GIMP, GNOME

Panel, Gnumeric, Nautilus, Pidgin, Rhythmbox, and SPIM. Download at

. We support PackageManager,

yum, apt, and many other RPM updater tools; see

for customized

configuration help for any of our supported distributions and updater

tools. Or just download and install

 

to automatically configure most popular RPM updaters to use the CBI

repository.

 

It's that easy! Tell your friends! Tell your neighbors! The more of

you there are, the more bugs we can find.

 

We still offer CBI packages for Fedora 1/2/4/5/6/7/8/9 as well. When

and if you decide to upgrade to Fedora 10, we'll be ready for you.

Until then, your participation remains valuable even on older distributions.
