[Test-Announce] Fedora 22 Beta Test Compose 8 (TC8) Available Now!

[Adam Williamson]

As per the Fedora 22 schedule [1], Fedora 22 Beta Test Compose 8 (TC8) 
is now available for testing.

Release engineering tells me that TC8 is basically the same as TC7, 
but with some parts (images? I think?) that were missing from TC7 due 
to compose issues included. Releng built this on their own initiative, 
we did not request any changes from TC7.

Content information, including changes, can be found at
 https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/6132#comment:12. Please see 
the following pages for download links and testing instructions. 
Normally dl.fedoraproject.org should provide the fastest download, but 
download-ib01.fedoraproject.org is available as a mirror (with an 
approximately 1 hour lag) in case of trouble. To use it, just replace 
"dl" with "download-ib01" in the download URL.

All Beta priority test cases for each of these test pages [2] must  
pass in order to meet the Beta Release Criteria [3]. For the Fedora  
22 cycle we are also trying to run the Final tests at this time, to 
try and identify later release blocker bugs as early as possible.

Help is available on #fedora-qa on irc.freenode.net [4], or on the  
test list [5].

TC7 was missing the arm install trees and all the cloud and docker images. So 
all lives and arm disk images and the i686 and x86_64 install trees should be 
exactly the same contents.
