Does anyone here do testing? There are two kinds of testing, release testing, and updates testing. The former usually runs in waves, as early in the release cycle for the next version of Fedora, all the disruptive changes for the new version are going into rawhide, and then as it gets closer to release activity picks up, it gets more and more polished, and there are bugs that are considered release blocking, and that the entire release installs correctly, to test. They have a matrix of tests that people (they send out a link on the test list) perform, and indicate whether they were successful or not. We are early in the F38 release cycle, so there is not a lot of formal activity on the test list (a new Fedora ships approximately every 6 months). The latter is individual package testing. The Fedora user turns on the enabled flag in the fedora-updates-testing.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/, and when new packages are pushed to updates testing, they will be installed on their system. They can then give feedback on the packages in bodhi. If a packages receives no feedback in updates testing, it is pushed to stable after two weeks. If it receives negative karma in bodhi, it is pulled from the repos. This requires a fedora user id in order to log into bodhi, so you can give feedback. https://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Easy_Karma https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/infra/sysadmin_guide/fas-notes/ https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/what-can-i-do-with-my-fedora-account-fas/1475 If you go to the fedora email archives, and search for posts by Adam Williamson, you will find that a lot of his posts are related to the testing of Fedora. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
