Fedora 19 QA Retrospective is up for your feedback now!
by Adam Williamson 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

Hey, folks. So I've belatedly put the F19 QA Retrospective page up here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_19_QA_Retrospective For the newer folks or those older folks who've forgotten, the Retrospective page aims to gather feedback on the test/validation process as we go through it. It's a place to note things that are working well and things that are working not so well. The idea is that once the release is done, we can go through it and come up with some action items to improve things ahead of the next cycle. It's really meant to be up throughout the cycle so when we notice something good, or a problem, we can throw a note in there immediately so it's not lost, but I forgot to create it earlier: my apologies. Please, if you have any feedback on how the Fedora 19 validation cycle went, do add it to the page! In a week or two I'll go through the feedback and try to convert it into action we can take prior to Fedora 20 Alpha. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

F19 Final status: back to good old Panic Stations
by Adam Williamson 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

We should've known it was too good to last! Martin Banas fortunately caught a major bug in RC2 overnight: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=978852 so we are currently testing RC3 which includes a fix for that. RC3 has not technically been released yet, but the main images - DVD, netinst, and release blocking live images - for both primary arches are already built and in place, so we can get the important testing done. The RC2->RC3 delta is very small; just a change in anaconda's text mode software selection spoke, and an incidental change in comps which we were forced to include as it's hard to back out of comps changes. So most RC1 and RC2 testing should remain valid. I have transferred the RC2 results to the RC3 matrices, leaving strategic gaps for tests we really ought to re-run for safety. In particular we should at least test that _every release blocking image_ - those mentioned above - is bootable, under size, works with checksum verification and isn't broken in some weird way. We should verify the blocker fix (I've done that already) and run a few other text installs just to test there's no other major borkage in text mode. We're aiming to get essential testing done on RC3 today and, assuming it passes and no other blockers are unearthed, go ahead and sign off on release later today: the Go/No-Go meeting is being held open to allow this. So if people could help out with the essential RC3 tests that'd be really great. The ones left 'open' on the matrix are the key ones we should run, plus any 'previous RC1 run' or 'previous RC2 runs' that we can replace with an RC3 test is great. It's probably not necessary to bother with Base or Desktop testing as they should be 100% unchanged from RC2. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

Fedora 19 Final RC2.1 WTF is this?!
by Adam Williamson 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

In case you're asking the question in the topic: you may notice there is now an 'RC2.1' in the TC/RC download directory. This is a respin of only the KDE live (and one non-blocking spin that's based on it), including this update: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-11724/liveusb-creator-3… which simply fixes this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=976415 The change is very isolated. The package is not on the DVD nor on any other live images, and the change affects only liveusb-creator. All RC2 testing (including all other KDE testing) remains valid except this single test case: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_desktop_menus for KDE, which I will re-test with the new image shortly. If no other blockers are found in RC2, we will ship the RC2 images for everything besides those two live spins, along with the RC2.1 builds of those two live images, as Fedora 19 Final. Please continue testing RC2 as normal, so we can have as much test coverage as possible before tomorrow's go/no-go meeting. Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

F19 RC1 cloud images available in EC2 and for download
by Matthew Miller 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Fedora 19 Release Candidate 1 cloud images are now available from: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/19-RC1/Images/ in either qcow2 or raw.xz format. You should be able to use Glance in OpenStack to just import the qcow2 images directly and go. They're also in Amazon EC2 in the US East region (us-east-1): ami-79196a10 for x86_64 ami-ef1b6886 for i386 Thanks to Dennis Gilmore in Fedora Release Engineering for the extra work to make this happen. The images are configured with "fedora" as the default user with passwordless sudo. You can change this behavior by passing different configuration data via the user-data in either OpenStack or EC2. For example, to allow direct root login and to suppress the creation of the 'fedora' user, use #cloud-config users: disable_root: 0 (The first line is identifying the userdata type, not a comment.) -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org>
