[Test-Announce] Fedora 16 Final Release Candidate 3 (RC3) Available Now!

[Andre Robatino]

As per the Fedora 16 schedule [1], Fedora 16 Final Release Candidate 3
(RC3) is now available for testing. Please see the following pages for
download links (including delta ISOs) and testing instructions.
Serverbeach1 is still available as a mirror (but with approximately a 1
hour lag behind dl), so if you are getting a slow download, try
replacing "dl" with "serverbeach1" in the download URL.

Installation:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test

Base:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Base_Test

Desktop:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test

Security Lab:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Security_Lab_Test

Ideally, all Alpha, Beta, and Final priority test cases for Installation
[2], Base [3], Desktop [4], and Security Lab [5] should pass in order to
meet the Final Release Criteria [6]. Help is available on #fedora-qa on
irc.freenode.net [7], or on the test list [8].

As mentioned before, we don't really need to re-do the whole set of
tests, but it'd be good to get a few done just to make sure the RC3
image hasn't gone horribly wrong somehow. The only things that should
have changed are KDE and Xfce bug fixes. To check the KDE issue, install
F15 from the KDE live spin then try upgrading with the F16 RC3 DVD; it
should work.

LXDE changed as well, and this affects also the Security Lab, since it
is based on LXDE.

For LXDE, please test:
      * that power management (suspend and hibernate) works (#749985)
      * that you have notifications 

For Security Spin, please test
      * the 2 LXDE test cases above
      * that you have sound (#749985)

For Xfce please test that metacity is not installed and firstboot is run
under xfwm4 (#750397)

Regards,
Christoph

Test succeeded, but now we are running into #746693. Looks like we need
to bring metacity back.

Grumbl,
Christoph

Whether by luck-of-the-draw or not, efidisk.img appears correct
(i.e. non-zeroed content) in this release!
