As of ~5 minutes ago, openQA tests both N-1 and N-2 upgrades; it does 'minimal' and 'desktop' upgrades on x86_64, and just 'desktop' on i686. Note that up until now, openQA's F24 upgrade tests have actually been N-2 upgrades, because we have to manually rebuild the base install images and edit the openQA test config to update the upgrade tests, and we hadn't done that yet (so it was still using F22 base images for the upgrade tests). I've now bumped the original upgrade tests to F23 and added new 'upgrade_2' tests for N-2, which are currently set to F22 of course. -- 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: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
