Hi, everyone! As you no doubt are aware, we're getting close to the final release of Fedora 11. For anyone who has the time, it would be really useful to get some final smoke testing of the installer. If you have some spare time and disk space - either on a real system, or a virtual one - please take an hour or two to run an installation of Rawhide, using the network installation method, and make sure it completes without any really serious problems. We're particularly interested in problems at the partitioning stage, since the storage rewrite was the biggest and most problematic change in the installer for Fedora 11. Even if you have a slow connection and don't have time to complete the installation, you can get to and through the partitioning stage relatively quickly, and that's very valuable testing (we need to test it on as many different disks, layouts, LVM / RAID setups etc as possible). If you do encounter any problems, please file a bug, but also mail the list so the bug can be reviewed to see if it should go onto the blocker list for final release. At this point we're mostly looking for really serious stuff, and regressions from the preview release in particular. Official guidance from the Anaconda folks: "Any bugs introduced since F-11-Beta that also are data corrupters, panics, failures to install in "reasonable" configuration" There's a test matrix on the Wiki where you can report results: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_11_RC_Install_Test_Results It works backwards to most test day setups: instead of you looking at the test cases and picking which to run, you should just run an install, and if you hit problems, look through the list of test cases to figure out which one it's appropriate to send your report to. Hopefully the list of test cases covers all scenarios :) Thanks, everyone! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
