Back to the topic, after this new grouping method, I find it's hard to
define installation source tests. [[BR]]
First, install source generally contains two parts: 1. Install.img
(stage2=) 2. package repository (repo=). So far we have no specific tests
focusing on each of them, but we have: 1. Install source tests (askmethod
to specify one source for both install.img and package repo) 2. Additional
repository (add another package repo： http, nfs, CD/DVD and
mirrorlist).[[BR]]
Initially I planed to create new install.img source tests(stage2=) and
modify existing install source tests to package repository tests(repo=).
But then I don't know how to name the "askmethod=" tests. Besides, there
are already 9 install source tests(askmethod), so I don't think it's nice
and realistic to add 9 install.img source tests and 9 package repository
tests based on these. [[BR]]
Currently the "stage2=" kernel parameter is not executable and supported
(Liam reported a bug regarding it), so it's not very useful to separate
install.img tests from install source. Therefore, my suggestion is to keep
the old install source tests (askmethod=), and modify the Additional repo
tests to make it use either repo= or manual repo adding method. [[BR]]
Please refer to [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Rhe/Draft2 draft
