Hi, folks. So I've just slapped together the existing release criteria drafts into a draft combined Fedora 21 Alpha release criteria page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Adamwill/Draft_F21_Alpha_criteria product-specific notes: Cloud - AFAICS the Cloud-specific draft Roshi did only took things away, it didn't add any, so there is basically no change as far as Cloud is concerned. The wirding should exempt Cloud from all inappropriate criteria - please point out anywhere this is not the case. Workstation - none of the proposed new criteria are Alpha criteria. The Alpha proposals for a separate Workstation criteria page were simplifications of the more 'generic' criteria that apply to multiple desktops. There appears to be considerable confusion over an important desktop-ish question for F21, namely: "Are network installs of GNOME/Workstation and/or KDE considered to be release-blocking?" That is, do we only block on the Workstation (product) and KDE (spin) live images, or are we also going to block on network installation of either or both? As this has not been established, I have mostly left the desktop-y criteria and preamble wording as-is, with the intent that we can fudge it in the interpretation. If we decide that we do not block on desktop network installs, we can refine and focus the wording somewhat; if we decide to block on them, I'll have to insert something into the preamble and possibly fiddling with the 'release-blocking desktop' wording a bit to clarify precisely what we're talking about. This particularly affects the desktop criteria (obviously) and the "Package sets" criterion, which looks distinctly wobbly and would be a complete dead letter if we only care about the live images. I also just remembered that Workstation apparently wants to make it possible to install KDE as an alternative desktop post-install, which is...another fun thing to think about? Goddamnit, this is becoming a real PITA. Server - I plucked out the criteria that seemed most Alpha-y and inserted them into this draft in appropriate places, basically. You'll note that Server alone has a Product-specific section, down the bottom. A couple of the criteria proposed for Server and/or Workstation actually work okay as 'generic' criteria, so I added those into the generic section: those would be "SELinux configuration" (SELinux must be enforcing after installation - all Products want this, I believe) and "Scripted user creation" (which is primarily for Server, but since there's only one installer, it's probably fine for it to go in the generic installer criteria). I tweaked the "DVD package source" criterion to not refer to a now-obsolete deliverable - it talks more generically about a "dedicated installer image that contains packages". As things stand, I believe the only such release-blocking medium will be the Server image that contains server role packages (once we actually, you know, make that, but it's listed in the Server tech spec). I included the latest draft of my proposed "system service manipulation" criterion, since this is still a draft and it seemed best to get all the proposals in one place together. I updated the definition of 'release-blocking images' in the preamble to be appropriate for Fedora.next: "The current set of release-blocking images includes the images defined by the three primary Products - Server, Workstation and Cloud - in their product requirement documents and/or technical specifications, and the KDE live image." (I could make that a lot damn cleaner if all the Products defined their deliverables in the same document, btw :> some do it in PRD, some in tech spec. Actually, we *still* ought to have a deliverables policy. That's been on my todo list for, er, three years? Patches welcome. It's not actually a QA job.) There are probably still some corners of this that don't entirely make sense any more, please point out any logic fails etc. But I think it's probably at least better than the current page - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_21_Alpha_Release_Criteria , which is completely un-Next-ified - as a basis for Alpha testing, which I once again remind folks, is supposed to start tomorrow :) So I'd like to get this into 'production' before Alpha TC1 drops. Next steps are going to be to write a couple more missing test cases, and come up with a vaguely plausible set of test matrices. I'll try and get that done this afternoon. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
