I think it could be reasonable for Fedora QA to only have automated testing, where VM's in openQA use the qemu DVD/CD device, and still block on release if any of those tests fail. But not require Fedora QA to actually buy and burn optical media and do physical tests. Of course it's possible the qemu device doesn't discover bugs that would affect real optical devices, and therefore users who claim they need this functionality really should be testing it, not expecting others to do this. And I also think the late blockers rule should apply to it, so testing needs to be done early not only at the last few days before final release. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-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/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
