[Bug 11143] New: appdb appears favors old test data over new?

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11143

Summary: appdb appears favors old test data over new?
           Product: WineHQ Apps Database
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: appdb-unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Looking at this page, I am the super maintainer for this app and have submitted
two lots of test data for the 1.01 version.

It appears to show the rating by this other maintainer even though I have
submitted two new lots of test data.

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9348

I would think that it should show the latest information from any of the
maintainers.

hmm, it was showing 0.9.44 over 0.9.53 on the left hand side for quite some
time.    now it's showing the correct information

example of it favoring old over new

Ah, I see.

The reason for this is that since there are more than one report for the
previous versions and they have a better average rating, while there is only
one for the newest Wine, the AppDB discards the newest report.  This is because
one person may have issues that are not representable for the average Wine
user; there are many examples of this in the database.

If you can think of a way to improve this that would be greatly appreciated.

Well, what you describe is largely a good idea, but perhaps if the latest data
is the super maintainer's test data, it could be treated differently... if we
can assume that super maintainers give credible information.

The current behaviour is fine.  Marking invalid.
