Wow, there's so many of you I can't reply to each individually, but thank you all for volunteering, it's great to see so many new people joining in! I'm guessing you've all read https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Join so you have some idea of stuff you can get started with, but if you'd like more specific info about anything please just mail and ask, and of course if you have any other ideas for neat stuff to do, that's great too! We have just signed off on the Fedora 24 release so the 'release validation' stuff will be a bit quieter - though if all goes according to plan, the bot will nominate a Rawhide nightly as our first Fedora 25 validation test event next week, so we can go right ahead and start very early F25 testing at that point! Aside from that, it would be really useful right now for folks to be doing updates testing on Fedora 24 updates, so we can make sure useful fixes are available on the day of release. You can get the F24 release at https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/24_RC-1.2/ or you can upgrade from a Fedora 23 install by following the instructions at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade ;, then you can test updates as explained at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing ;. Another thing we could use at present is some testing on the new graphical upgrade process from Fedora 23 to Fedora 24. To try this out, you just have to edit a file as described here: https://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2016/04/20/upgrading-fedora-23-to-24-using-gnome-software/ then make sure you have the latest gnome-software package installed from updates-testing for Fedora 23 - you don't need to use the COPR described in the blog post. Then if you log out and back in again and run GNOME Software, on the 'updates' page you should see a message saying you can upgrade to Fedora 24, and you can try it out. (For now this is GNOME-only, though it *could* be integrated into other desktops too if they wanted to). There are still a few known bugs in it - you can see the known bugs at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=1308538&hide_resolved=1 . One notable one is that the download process is a lot slower than with DNF - that's https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1336404 ;. But if you find any new problems, please report them, and if you don't, you can just mail the list and let us know that it worked for you :) Thanks everyone! -- 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://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
