Hello everyone,

I gave a shot at running a verification test. I was looking at Fedora_26_Branched_20170513.n.0 installation

That's correct. There's a new page since yesterday:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test

Once we start getting Beta RCs (release candidates), which will be hopefully soon, that link will point to those.

 

Should I be testing the milestones labeled as Final in the nightly builds?

All of them are useful. For Beta release, those marked with Alpha and Beta have to pass. For Final release, Alpha + Beta + Final have to pass.

 

I hope I did this the right way. Here is what I did.

Went to Fedora_26_Branched_20170513.n.0 installation, Image sanity, and chose the repoclosure test case. Followed the procedures and got the results below:

Added myrepo repo from /media
Reading in repository metadata - please wait....
Checking Dependencies
Repos looked at: 1
   myrepo
Num Packages in Repos: 2836
package: python-smbios-2.3.0-4.fc26.x86_64 from myrepo
  unresolved deps:
     python-ctypes

Which shows one unresolved dependency. If I am correct this would qualify as a automatic blocker for the final release and I should submit a bug report and update the test results page to show failed?

Yes, please do that. It should be an automatic blocker, you're correct, but since you're new, it's better if you use https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/propose_bug to propose the blocker, and we'll check whether we can reproduce it and approve it if we can.

 

I apologize I am just trying to familiarize myself with the layout and how things are done. So this test labeled as final for this particular build should have this issue resolved before it gets integrated into the main Fedora 26 build?

It means we can release F26 Alpha/Beta with this problem, but not F26 Final (the final image that gets then announced to our users).

 

I am just trying to understand this process. Once I am able to edit the appropriate pages and sections I will post my findings on this test and submit the bug report. If I did this wrong and missed a few steps could someone please point me in the right direction.

Thank you for your patience and help.

Ryan

Thanks a lot for your help!
