Virtualization Test Day
The Fedora 11 "Test Day"[1] for virtualization[2] took place on Thursday May 7th.
Mark McLoughlin thought[3] "we made heaps of progress today. To give you an idea of what went on today, see below for the list of bugs that were filed during the test day." See the post for a concise list of bugs revealed during testing.
Fedora virt status
Mark McLoughlin posted[1] another informative Fedora virtualization status report. For those who live life beyond the bleeding edge, Mark points out "F12 tracker bugs have been created.[2] The F12 blocker and target bugs depend on the F11 counterparts. The idea is that if we don't fix a bug in F11, it's automatically on the F12 tracker but we still have a list of bugs worth fixing in a post-GA F11 update."
