I vote yes to both Beta and Alpha proposals.<br><br>> Subject: Release criteria proposal: boot to console<br>> From: awilliam@redhat.com<br>> To: test@lists.fedoraproject.org<br>> Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2010 19:19:30 -0700<br>> <br>> Hi, folks. Quite a lot of release criteria proposals came out of today's<br>> go/no-go meeting. I'll propose them formally for discussion and addition<br>> to the official criteria here.<br>> <br>> First off, we are missing criteria for booting to *console* rather than<br>> graphical desktop. This is important for e.g. minimal installs.<br>> <br>> Proposal: two criteria. Alpha:<br>> <br>> "When booting a system installed without a graphical environment, or<br>> when using a correct configuration setting to cause an installed system<br>> to boot in non-graphical mode, the system should boot to a state where<br>> it is possible to log in through at least one of the default virtual<br>> consoles."<br>> <br>> Beta:<br>> <br>> "When booting a system installed without a graphical environment, or<br>> when using a correct configuration setting to cause an installed system<br>> to boot in non-graphical mode, the system should provide a working login<br>> prompt without any user intervention (aside from the firstboot utility)<br>> when boot is complete, and all virtual consoles intended to provide a<br>> working login prompt should do so."<br>> <br>> These read a bit icky to me, clarification / rephrasing would be<br>> welcome. The key point here is that it was quite widely agreed at the<br>> go/no-go meeting that we should *not* block an Alpha release if tty1<br>> doesn't work, as long as one of the other ttys works fine so you can log<br>> in properly just by doing ctrl-alt-f2 or whatever.<br>> -- <br>> Adam Williamson<br>> Fedora QA Community Monkey<br>> IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org<br>> http://www.happyassassin.net<br>> <br>> -- <br>> test mailing list<br>> test@lists.fedoraproject.org<br>> To unsubscribe: <br>> https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test<br>                                            </body>
