[Fedora QA] #79: Add firstboot release criteria

#79: Add firstboot release criteria ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: jlaska | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 14 Component: Wiki | Version: Keywords: retrospective | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ = problem = See [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=574596 RHBZ#574596 - Smolt does not run at firstboot] = analysis = We don't have a way to know what firstboot modules are expected, we need to document this as release criteria, or write a test to report the issue (for details, see RHBZ #574596). = enhancement recommendation = The release criteria do not include what image:Package-x-generic-16.pngfirstboot modules are intended for Fedora. Often, firstboot some modules are missing or disabled, and we don't notice or know whether this is a blocker. Recommend clarifying the use cases of firstboot in the release criteria. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/79> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance

#116: Clarify https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Mediakit_FileConflicts to say that explicit Conflicts: are acceptable ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Reporter: adamwill | Owner: rhe Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Wiki | Version: Keywords: | ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- = bug description = Please update the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Mediakit_FileConflicts test case to clarify that explicit Conflicts: tags are okay. = bug analysis = The relevant release criterion is "No file conflicts or unresolved package dependencies during a media-based (CD/DVD) install". The term "file conflicts" here is important. I believe it's intended to mean that only cases where the files in two packages conflict, but there is no explicit Conflicts: tag in the packages. Where the conflict is properly marked in the packages with Conflicts: tags, this should not be considered an infringement of the criterion. = fix recommendation = Change expected results: 2. No file conflicts were detected for packages included in the media kit, unless the conflicting packages also have explicit Conflicts: tags -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/116> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance

#84: Define install matrix baseline ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: jlaska | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 14 Component: Wiki | Version: Keywords: retrospective | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ = problem = * We almost didn't find [http://bugzilla.redhat.com/578633 RHBZ#578633 - Unable to enter passphrase to unlock encrypted disk partitions] * When re-using test results from a previous test run, it's possible to include results for tests that should be re-tested. This would be bad. = analysis = * F-13 Beta candidate#3 didn't include the correct version of ''plymouth'' (see RHBZ #578633). * Since it was Beta#3 and not much was supposed to change from Beta#2, some test results from the previous Beta#2 candidate were carried forward. * Thankfully, QA found the problem before release while running the QA:Testcase_Anaconda_autopart_(encrypted)_install test. = enhancement recommendation = * Establish better guidelines about which test results can be carried forward from one candidate to the next (this isn't easy). Or perhaps, establish a subset of tests that all respins must undergo. * Perhaps link to, or document at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Installation_validation_testing -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/84> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance

#86: Add test coverage for text-mode upgrade ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: jlaska | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 14 Component: Wiki | Version: Keywords: retrospective | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ = problem = See [http://bugzilla.redhat.com/590823 RHBZ#590823 - Text-mode upgrade fails when installing new bootloader -- KeyError: 'bootloader'] = analysis = Some tests in the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test install test matrix] involve user interface components in both text-mode and graphical-mode (native or VNC). One such bug (RHBZ #590823) involved a problem found only during text-mode upgrades to Fedora 13. The text-mode upgrade screen shows different options thanenhancement recommendation = = enhancement recommendation = I'm hesitant to recommend specific text-mode tests for each user interface element that differs in text-mode and graphical-mode (it would be exhaustive but unachievable). As a catch-all, testing a text-mode install is included in the current matrix. Is there something small that can be done to cover the gap? 1. Perhaps adding a text-mode upgrade test case to the install matrix, or ... 2. Adding variations to the existing upgrade tests [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_Upgrade_Update_Bootload… QA:Testcase_Anaconda_Upgrade_Update_Bootloader] and [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_Upgrade_Skip_Bootloader QA:Testcase_Anaconda_Upgrade_Skip_Bootloader] to also test text-mode, or ... 3. <insert better idea here> -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/86> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance

Fedora install support for netbooks -- small screen size
by Robert Moskowitz 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

I am doing another FC12 install on my ASUS 701ee. This is a test system, and I end up installing every month or so. Of course with the small screen size, I end up pressing <cntl-N> a lot, as I cannot see the Next button. And on some screens I just miss some options, like getting to customize the install packages. I am always forgetting the key combo to turn that check box on. Is there some way to either get the ability to pan the screen around or scroll the screen so that on Netbooks that SHOULD be a popular install platform for Fedora, can have workable installation?

updates improvements/changes ideas
by Kevin Fenzi 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

Greetings. On the devel list recently there was a long thread discussing how we could improve the current https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy I gathered up ALL the ideas people put forth that were concrete in a list for fesco to look into. I'd love feedback from QA/Testers as well. If you have additional (concrete) ideas to add, please feel free. Note that these are not my ideas. ;) The list I have so far: General: * Just drop all the requirements/go back to before we had any updates criteria. * back off current setup until autoqa is ready, see what we want to do after that lands. * Change FN-1 to just security and major bugfix. Nothing else allowed. * allow packages with a %check section to go direct to stable. * setup a remote test env that people could use to test things. * require testing only for packages where people have signed up to be testers. * Ask maintainers to provide test cases / test cases in wiki for each package * have a way to get interested testers notified on bodhi updates for packages they care about. * reduced karma requirement on other releases when one has gone stable * aggregated karma across the releases for the same package version. * PK updates-testing integration of some kind. * allow anon karma to count. * setup fedora-qa package or group to more easily bring up more testers. * Testing is only required for certain packages. Those packages are the packages where problems have occurred before so fesco or other maintainers affected by the changes deem it necessary to supplement the maintainer's testing with outside help. - Option: supplement this list with critpath packages where the maintainers desire extra testing. This means that we would no longer be dragging in dependencies immediately... only if updates by the dependency's maintaner to that package are breaking things. * updates that only modify the spec could have a lower requirement. (ie, to fix a packaging issue, no changes in the upstream software). Security updates: * allow security updates to go direct to stable * ask QA to commit to testing security updates * allow timeout for security updates before going to stable. Critpath updates: * allow critpath timeout for going to stable. Non critpath/security: * reduce timeout for non critpath from 7 to 3 days. * change default autokarma to 2 or 1. kevin

rawhide dependant error...
by Rob Healey 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

Greetings All: I know that there are too many other dependency errors in rawhide, but I am not asking anyone to fix it now! I would like to know what other files that I might have to locally re-build to make this work! I am not too good at seeing things in a logical manner, so I hope that someone else can help me... Here is what I am trying to do and what errors that I get on the terminal: -------------------------------------- [root@localhost dummy]# yum install gnome-python2-gtkspell Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, refresh-packagekit Adding en_US to language list Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * rawhide: mirror.web-ster.com * rpmfusion-free-rawhide: mirror.web-ster.com * rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide: mirror.web-ster.com Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package gnome-python2-gtkspell.x86_64 0:2.25.3-22.fc15 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: gnome-python2-extras = 2.25.3-22.fc15 for package: gnome-python2-gtkspell-2.25.3-22.fc15.x86_64 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: gnome-python2-gtkspell-2.25.3-22.fc15.x86_64 (rawhide) Requires: gnome-python2-extras = 2.25.3-22.fc15 Installed: gnome-python2-extras-2.25.3-25.fc14.1.x86_64 (@updates/14) gnome-python2-extras = 2.25.3-25.fc14.1 Available: gnome-python2-extras-2.25.3-22.fc15.x86_64 (rawhide) gnome-python2-extras = 2.25.3-22.fc15 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest [root@localhost dummy]# ------------------------ I would like to say thank you in advance for any help that can be given to me!
