PerformingSRUVerification
SRU Verification is the process of testing packages, updated to fix a bug, that exist in the -proposed repository. These packages need testing to ensure that the package continues to function as designed and that the bug is fixed.
How to find bugs needing verification
Bugs needing SRU verification can be found by querying for the bug tag in Launchpad [https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=verification-needed verification-needed] or by looking at the [http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html Pending Ubuntu SRUs]. The Pending Ubuntu SRUs are generated by parsing the changelogs of the packages in -proposed repository. By clicking on changelog bugs entry you will be taken to the Launchpad bug report (if it exists). Some bugs resolved by -proposed packages require specific hardware and these can be identified by the hw-specific tag in Launchpad or by (hw) next to the bug number at the Pending Ubuntu SRUs page.
