Size of the effort is relative to perspective. If you asking dave to set this up, I doubt he's going to come to the same decision as to worth. Though i seriously doubt this is a volunteer situation inside the redhat fenceline. If this sort of hardware is going to be setup and be relied on to hold back builds I think you'll have to have a series of meetings about provisioning this. Would it be cool to do this sort of testing before rawhide lands..sure.. it'd be super cool... if it can be automated reliably. You'd have to ask a script to pull the binaries from the buildsystem before they are all pushed to rawhide if there is a problem. Though at this point, I'm not sure its fair to single out x86 as special anymore. If a kernel boots on ppc and x86_64 systems but doesnt boot on x86, I'm not sure its appropriate to hold back that kernel. But thats a policy decision, that comes after there is hardware to do the regression testing with appears. > In that case it's not a transcient failure, I think last time I tried to > use anaconda of rawhide back in July I had the exact same error.

Its not so much about trying to fix it daily... its more about making sure it works by test1 release. If memory serves the anaconda development that is going on was one of the reasons why the fc5 schedule is what it is...to make room in part to get anaconda retooled. I don't remember there being a promise to anyone to make day-to-day rawhide installability a high priority. There is a target that the anaconda devs are shooting for, fc5test1. Are you suggesting they maintain a dead-end branch of anaconda in rawhide while working on the new version somewhere else? -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
