Good idea, but no go. If you create a static test case, upgrade can no longer be tested.
It seems Jesse has the better solution already by fixing anaconda to work more generally. If I understand him correctly.. we will be able to eat nightly boot.iso images and point them to a previously existing test release package tree (or even our own local trees) instead of having to attempt a rawhide payload install. So we should be able to get daily testing of the installer codebase against a consistent payload tree without an overhaul of the entire rawhide build process and associated complications for Extras maintainers. I think Jesse's idea is going to solve the specific issue of installer testing quite well. And just as importantly it will also make it easier to serve the community with installer image updates post-release when they are needed to address specific hardware issues. I would encourage jesse or other release-eng people to give a nice big heads-up to this list when the necessary changes to anaconda and the boot.iso generation go live in rawhide. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
