Actually I should have written that a bit differently: it's a *good* thing from a QA perspective that you're trying preupgrade now and finding the bugs. We want them found early. It's only a bad thing from the point of view that it has about 0% chance of succeeding. =) Even if you get the preupgrade bit working, I believe newUI anaconda does not actually implement upgrades yet, so there is no chance the anaconda bit of the process will work. > Nice to know, thanks.

Let us know if you find any QA process documentation missing - I think we cover it pretty well though :) -- 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
