Comment (by jlaska):
Thanks for raising this topic! We'll need to confirm with clumens of
course, but I don't know if there are plans to add graphical repository
configuration for NFS ISO, HD and HD ISO installation methods. I don't
believe there are plans to remove loader handling for package repository
access methods. Which means, Fedora will still support traditional
installation methods available by way of ''askmethod''.
Perhaps we need to rename/rethink these different tests?
The two functions that need verification are ...
1. the loader handling/setup of a given installation repository. I'm
thinking these are the operations that dictate how the 'Installation repo'
is setup. For some boot methods, this is handled for us (e.g. DVD creates
a CDROM repo, boot.iso and pxeboot don't add any 'installation repo')
2. the graphical repository dialog allowing for additional repos, repo
removal, and existing repo edits. These are mostly manual (except for
kickstart) functions.
As for loader handling/setup of a given installation repository, we have
the following scenarios (most of which are already tests, but perhaps need
adjustment/rename):
1. Installation repository - http
* default scenario
1. Boot and install using a netinst.iso or pxeboot images
* variation(s):
1. Boot with: 'askmethod' and manually input HTTP repo
2. Boot with: repo=http://server/path/to/repo
3. Use ftp://server/path/to/repo
4. Use ftp://user:pass@server/path/to/repo
5. Configure proxy=[protocol://][username[:password]@]host[:port]
2. Installation repository - NFS
* default scenario
1. Use graphical repository dialog to input NFS Server and PATH
* variation(s):
1. Boot with: repo=nfs:<server>:/<path>
3. Installation repository - NFS ISO
* default scenario
1. Boot with 'askmethod' and manually enter NFS ISO server + path
* variation(s):
1. Boot with: repo=nfsiso[:options]:<server>:/<path>
4. Install repository - HD ISO
* default scenario
1. Boot with 'askmethod' and manually enter HD device and path
* variations:
1. repo=hd:<device>:/<path>
2. repo=hd:LABEL=<label>:/<path>
3. repo=hd:UUID=<uuid>:/<path>
5. Install repository - CD/DVD ISO
* default scenario
1. Boot and install from a CD or DVD ISO image
* variations:
1. Boot with 'askmethod' and selects CD-ROM/DVD-ROM
2. Boot with repo=cdrom:<device>
If we include the FTP* tests you list as a variation of the HTTP test, we
can remove them altogether.
As for graphical repository edits, we have those covered already right?
