== proventesters ==

Jlaska asked the group what tasks remain in order to move forward on
defining the ''proventesters'' group and workflow.  

      * Adam noted that Jkeating may be working several tasks on this
        front.  
      * Jlaska directed those interested in defining providetesters, to
        provide feedback to maxamillion's
        [http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-March/088980.html email].

== Privilege Escalation test ==

Adamw reminded the group that we've not yet defined test cases to
validate the recently approved [[Privilege_escalation_policy]].  

      * Adamw felt the first step is to come up with the script to
        identify privesc-relevant packages.
      * Kparal asked whether these would be automated tests, or tests
        more like the desktop validation plan.  Discussion followed on
        the appropriate place to automate these 
      * The group discussed candidate packages to inspect for polkit
        changes, including polkit configs, setuid binaries, certain
        d-bus config files, consolehelper files and pam configs.
      * Adam took action to discuss a privileged package detection
        script with wwoods

== Open discussion - <Your topic here> ==

=== Update Policy Proposals ===

Kparal clarified that current package update proposals require that
deps/conflicts tests occur whenever a package enters ''updates''
'''and''' ''updates-testing''.  Kparal also discussed concerns around
AutoQA being a bottleneck for packages.

=== AutoQA packaging ===

Adamw asked how AutoQA packaging was progressing.  

      * Jlaska noted that packaging wasn't moving, and that a FAD is
        being planned to help work down the list of java %buildrequires.
        More information will be sent to
        [mailto:java-devel at lists.fedoraproject.org] later in the week.

= Action items =

# adamw to check-in with wwoods on tooling needs for priv esc. test
