[edit] Rawhide Acceptance Testing 
Last week, 2010-02-04 was the third pre-Alpha rawhide acceptance test
milestone. Jkeating and dlehman coordinated to do a second compose (see
rel-eng ticket#3337). Install images were built and posted on
alt.fedoraproject.org. Since AutoQA doesn't yet monitor this location
for new install images, tests were initiated manually.

Test Summary:

      * Automated rats_install FAIL - RHBZ #559290 causing LVM lvcreate
        to fail
      * Results available at
        Test_Results:Fedora_13_Rawhide_Acceptance_Test_3.

Next Steps:

      * Fix AutoQA post-tree-compose hook to monitor for RAT droppings
        (see ticket#115)
      * Discuss proposed rats_install changes with wwoods and draft a
        patch

      * Releases/Rawhide needs an overhaul to accommodate new process
