Fedora 24 QA Retrospective

Introduction

This page is intended to gather feedback from the Fedora QA community on things that worked well and things that could have been better with the testing of Fedora 24. The feedback will be used as a basis for identifying areas for improvement for Fedora 25 testing. Any thoughts, big or small, are valuable. If someone already provided feedback similar to what you'd like to add, don't worry ... add your thoughts regardless.

For any questions or concerns, send mail to test@lists.fedoraproject.org.

Feedback

Could have been better

• Satellit (talk) - I did not like "lottery" involving the new build system [ 1 ]

I know that this is an unsolved problem. But it resulted in intermittent live builds of sugar-desktop (SoaS live)

and ultimately resulted in the non-inclusion of SoaS. as a regular live spin.

Through the kindness of people involved; Soas was included in a separate " unofficial" directory. [ 2 ]

and linked in the f24 "get fedora" web page. Thankyou.
