I definitely agree that the nightlies need to be made from stable sources. OTOH, the process for testing anything that is part of the installation process (anaconda, lorax, mdadm ...) seems to be more of a PITA than it really needs to be (someone has to build the .iso manually and push it to fedorapeople in order to share it). >> So, yes, -testing is the default for f15 installs, but the problem is >> you have to get 15 installed first, at which point you can't test the >> live image/installer part of the critical path, since you are now in an >> installed environment, not a live image/installer. > > There may need to be special instructions for testing things that get included > in the initramfs to get them tested. Another option would be to make it easier to build and host images build from testing for updates that affect the installation process. I'll have to think about realistic ways that would be possible unless someone else has an idea. Until then, instructions would help or someone is going to have to build and push the testing image by hand. Tim
