Hum, I think that's pretty bulletproof, neat. pjones, does it read okay to you? > I think the last part of the original sentence is redundant. > > However, I'd prefer: > > A Fedora release must be able host virtual guest instances of the same > Fedora release as well as all previous Fedora releases. All previous - I don't think that's right. We only care about N and N-1, for virt purposes. Well, *maybe* N-2. We don't care about releases past N-2 for any purpose, they're unsupported. Note there's a subsequent criterion: "The release must boot successfully as a virtual guest in a situation where the virtual host is running the previous stable Fedora release (using Fedora's current preferred virtualization technology) " which covers the 'host on N-1' case. 'Guest N-1 on Host N' isn't exactly covered right now, but then it's unlikely there'd be a bug in F16 which prevented an F16 system hosting an F15 guest, but allowed it to host an F16 guest...that'd more likely be the case if the bug was in F15...I guess? > > "Current preferred virtualization technology:" > > Is too ambiguous, lets call a spade a space and state KVM if that > statement is required. It's intentionally ambiguous: I try to write the criteria as generically as possible. This ensures we don't have to rewrite them just because we change tack. (Remember, our 'preferred virt technology' was Xen not so long ago; if we'd had hardcoded criteria that stated 'Xen' at that point, we'd have had to rewrite them to say 'KVM'). I think it's just more correct, too: our intent is not that 'KVM should work', really, our intent really is 'whatever Fedora currently reckons is The Good Stuff should work'. Same reason the criteria say 'the installer' and not 'anaconda', and 'refer generically to 'release-blocking desktops', not 'GNOME and KDE'. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
