The good news for me was that the testing QA scoped out for preupgrade
[1] helped highlight the preupgrade /boot disk-space problem. My
understanding of this issue ...
* 534052 - Preupgrade should check for sufficient disk space in
advance
1. Filed on 2009-11-10 by Kamil Paral during F-12-RC4
verification
2. Further triaged and found as a DUPLICATE of bug#530541
(see below)
* 530541 - Free space check on /boot not thorough enough
1. Filed on 2009-10-23 by Alexander Boström while testing
rawhide
2. Problem correctly identified as insufficient free-space
for anaconda to install new kernel+initrd.img
Highlights for me ...
* The issue was discovered prior to release ... that's 'a good
thing' [tm]. Just as cool, it was also discovered by someone
outside the core QA team
* The problem was correctly identified when filed by Alexander,
but the impact to the default F-11 preupgrade user wasn't known
at the time
* Preupgrade is a great application, was an opportunity to
identify failure scenarios missed when we (the royal 'we' ==
Fedora) chose it as a official upgrade method?
Did I miss any?
Thanks,
