First of all - thanks for putting the effort to upgrade!
Unfortunately that is the last positive sentence I'll have here. However, it
is not your fault at all. It is all about expectations. And my expectations
were that the UI/UX will be much more mature than the current version we
use. However, my biggest expectation turned into biggest disappointment.
Things are yet more unintuitive and crazy than in the current version. Three
outstanding examples on behalf of others:
1) It took me quite a long time to find a way, how to switch between
patchsets. Not even mentioning I can't compare them.
2) It took me also quite a long time to find a way, how to add new comment.
3) The commit message is in width limited box, which causes most of the
messages to be partially invisible and necessity to scroll.
[I'm not going to say the solutions here, everybody should experience on
their own...]
I assume that the slowness is just because it is testing environment and
production will be faster, but just in case, I'm mentioning that too (ask
for details should you need any).
I apologize for not being positive, I can imagine that being discouraging.
On the other hand I can see one promise behind that: I believe this will be
another kicker for faster migration to Differential & co. For the time being
- do any skins exist? If yes, wouldn't it be worth it to investigate them
and possibly install any instead of the default one?
Kind regards
Danny B.

Předmět: [Wikitech-l] Gerrit 2.12.2 test instance - PLEASE TEST
"Hi,
Daniel and I have been spending a lot of time in the last week preparing a
smooth upgrade
path for Gerrit to a new (and supported version). The migration will be
coming soon but I could
use your help testing things in the meantime.
https://gerrit-new.wikimedia.org/r/
The database is a snapshot from last week and the git data is up to date as
of a few hours
ago. Please use this opportunity to test the new installation and make sure
it works for you.
Make a change. Do some reviews. Do the things you usually would.
Again, this is snapshot data so: A) Don't worry about messing up the real
install, and B) Don't
expect any changes to persist after the migration.
If nobody identifies any major blockers, we'll go ahead and set an upgrade
time for the
immediate future.
Thanks so much!
-Chad & Daniel
