It takes like a half hour just to write all the media for testing, then another few hours to run complete installs from them all (since optical media are *slow*). If it's not burdensome, why does no-one except the paid RH folks ever seem to run the test? And usually at the last minute, at that? I've had to buy three DVD-RW drives *solely for the purpose of being able to test this* (they keep dying, the things aren't terribly reliable). And I keep a spindle of media around, again, solely for the purpose of testing this, I don't use them for anything else. (In fact I've nearly run out, so if we keep this criteria, I'm gonna have to go out and blow some money on some more media I won't ever use for anything but testing this). If people outside of the RH team ever actually ran this test, I'd be more in favour of keeping it, but I don't think any of the people speaking up about how vital this is to them have ever actually chipped in and run the test before. -- 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 send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
