Thanks to everyone for the feedback on the initial proposal to do optional installation and base validation testing for Rawhide nightly builds. I've revised the Installation validation page based on the feedback, and added a similar Base validation page, and I think we can say we're now open for business! https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_21_Rawhide_2014_04_Install https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_21_Rawhide_2014_04_Base In case anyone missed the proposal: the idea is that we run some of our usual release validation tests - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Installation_validation_testing , https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Base_validation_testing - on the nightly Rawhide builds. We get nightly live images, network install images, and 'appliance' (ARM and Cloud) images these days. This is *entirely optional* testing - no-one else is relying on us to do this, no releases are being held up for it, so no-one needs to be pulling any all-nighters. The idea is just to get a feel for where we stand with the Fedora 21 codebase as we go along for the next few months, and get the biggest showstopper bugs fixed, so we don't wind up entering the Alpha milestone with a huge backlog of stuff to test and fix. The process should be much like it is for our usual milestone validation testing, except you'll be grabbing Rawhide nightly images, not the TC/RC images. The pages include the necessary links for getting those images, but I'll include them here too: * Nightly and 'appliance' images can be found from the snazzy new Release Engineering dashboard: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/releng-dash/ * The latest network install images are always at the same URLs: ** x86_64 - http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/x86_64/os/images/boot.iso ** i686 - http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/i386/os/images/boot.iso The only other major difference is that you should include the date of the image you tested in your result entry. The "Key" section of each page has been edited to give examples of this, and I'll try to run a few tests and add some sample entries tomorrow to give folks a feel for it. The main aim here is to identify major bugs and showstoppers, so please focus on those. It may not be the best idea to file minor bugs at this point in the cycle, though keep an eye on any you find as we move towards Alpha and Beta. I've left Desktop testing out for now, as Johann suggested that we may need to re-organize our approach due to the Fedora.next changes. Installation and Base testing should give us enough to be going along with :) Thanks everyone! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ test-announce mailing list test-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test-announce -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
