Subject: Re: autoqa cannot work with i386 architecture
One thing I am still not very clear, do we have both x86_64 and i386
servers to run
x86_64 and i386 Fedora respectively? I think we will use x86_64 to run
both x86_64 and
i386 Fedora during the development. So it would be better to split the
server
and the Fedora tested architectures, the server architecture can be
detected by default,
the architecture of Fedora tested will be passed as a parameter. What
do you think?
Hi Hongqing,
until recently the arch given as a parameter to 'autoqa' was used just to
schedule the test with autotest (and it always gets scheduled as x86_64 now
when set to run locally) and the tests themselves basically used uname
based method to determine the client architecture when needed. In[1]
we've added the arch in kwargs, so over there you should always get the
architecture actually passed to 'autoqa', if that is any help.
To the testing efforts, you can temporarily modify 'autoqa' to use i386
(just change it on line 53, I believe) when noarch instead of x86_64
- or don't test it as local and let it get scheduled by autotest as in
production instead.

Hi, Vita,
Now I am confused. I know we use the 'arch' here to represent the architecture of
the machine (test server or client).
The architecture I am talking about here is the Fedora system that we will test. Since I
would like
autoqa can cover the test case:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Installer_image_presence_test_case
I would like to check the arch listed in .treeinfo is correct or not, so we have to tell
autoqa which
arch we are testing, then we can compare the real arch with that in .treeinfo.
If the arch only represent the machine arch, then the option 'arch' in parser is
not useful, since the
arch can be detected by default. Am I right?
Thanks.
