So I'm kicking around this idea to help w/ QA testing. What if Fedora Legacy provided very base images of the releases we support for use with vmplayer? Vmplayer is free, and from the base image a QA tester could update to the package we need QA on, use the package in various ways, and report how it worked out. No need to have a full system of that release, no bad effects to your running system, just a nice test environment to run a few smoke tests on it. Thoughts?
That is the exact way that I Q&A 7.3 stuff. I have VM images that are near mirrors of production systems. I d/l and test 7.3 updates on the VMs before pushing them out to production. It doesn't take much to produce a VM to distribute to others for testing purposes. HOWEVER the IP addressing might present some setup issues for novices, and bandwidth necessary to download the images would be quite high.
