I think the only really obvious scenario we missed is one we already adjusted the test cases for - updating from a realistic previous-release configuration, not a brand new clean install. The problem is that there's as many potential failure cases as there are combinations of packages and (especially) third-party repositories and software, and there's a lot of those. Also different disk layouts and bootloader configurations. I don't know how many we can realistically expect to test, or where we'd want to draw the boundaries. There have been quite a lot of people on the forums running into issues with preupgrade for various reasons. -- 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
