I was thinking about real world scenarios, and Workstation Live is the only one that is probably going to be given away on optical discs (at conferences, university events, etc). KDE Live would probably also fit in this. I don't think we're ever giving out Server discs, or Cloud (ha ha). As for personal downloads, again Workstation Live is the most commonly downloaded image for standard users, so if the machine can't boot from USB, this is likely the image that is going to get burned to a DVD. I don't think people install servers from optical media too much, but I might be wrong. But for Server, sysadmins are probably able to leverage a different method of installation anyway (pxeboot). Ideally we should of course test all combinations. But that's not practical. So this was all about covering the most commonly used methods. > > It sucks, but I'd say in an ideal world we would actually be testing > all supported boot methods - VM 'optical disc', real optical disc, each > supported USB write method - for each image, for both x86_64 and UEFI. > Given that we have six release-blocking ISO images, if we only tested > one USB write method, that'd be 36 tests.

We clearly need to pick a "reasonable subset". _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
