That said, currently due to hardware resourcing/allocation of VM issues constraints Fedora jobs are made "experimental" (meaning, someone has to add an explicit "check experimental" comment in Gerrit to test on Fedora). That said, we do have frequent testers on Fedora. Good news is -- this is just temporary. Ian Wienand is steadfastly working (thanks!) with OpenStack infrastructure to fix the various distribution allocation issues in the infrastucture[1]. For the technically curious, Ian explains the node allocation (in OpenStack CI infra) in very clear detail here[2].

I'd love to hear what error(s) they see so we can clear them up.

Thanks Kevin (and Matthew) for your quick responses, as usual. -- /kashyap _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/infrastructure
