Who's available

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...

Development - Richard Hughes (IRC: hughsie)
Quality Assurance - He Rui (IRC: rhe)

Prerequisite for Test Day

A F11 or F12 system on bare metal or virtual machine
Network connection
The following packages updates installed
preupgrade-1.1.5-1.fc12 - To install, type: su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update preupgrade'

python-urlgrabber-3.9.1-4.1.fc12 - available for download at http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/python-urlgrabber/3.9.1/4.1.fc12/noarch/python-urlgrabber-3.9.1-4.1.fc12.noarch.rpm

How to test?

Follow the test cases below to preupgrade your existing fedora 11 or 12 system.

Test Cases

Test Results

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla usually for the component preupgrade. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you. Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one, and the second should describe the hardware (monitor, and optionally printer, scanner and colorimeter) you used to test. For each test case, if your system worked correctly, simply enter the word PASS. If you had trouble, enter the word FAIL, with a footnote indicator, and put a link to the bug report in the References column (as in the example line). For tests you could not perform, enter a dash.

At that time there was 132257 1K blocks available ↑ Did the test with non-default /boot (400M). Adjusted available disk space accordingly. Got error message on "no more mirrors to try" when disk was full (Step #7 on the test case). The error message could be more accurate as the problem was not about network error, but disk space. Other than that, I would consider this as PASS.
