Previous meeting follow-up

  • [jlaska+adamw] mediawiki semantic update (packaging and hosting)
    • REVIEWED - 490001 - Review Request: mediawiki-semantic - The semantic extension to mediawiki
    • NEEDS REVIEW - 490171 - Review Request: mediawiki-semantic-forms - An extension to MediaWiki that adds support for web-based forms
    • Packages installed in a test instance, next steps involve:
      • understanding the framework and wiki linkage
      • request live data dump from infrastructure for testing
      • developing some howto docs/guides
      • request infrastructure hosting
  • [adamw] schedule radeon test day
    • in discussion with developer to select a day. Developer proposed 2 wks from now, but adamw suggested next week since we're booked
  • [adamw] review OPEN installer bugs and escalate appropriate issues to F11Beta blocker list
    • iarly from the triage team did go through and review a lot of the issues, so i think it got done reasonably well.
  • [jlaska] email fedora-test-list@ with call for testing of rawhide installs
    • Email sent ... a good selection of installer testing contributed by community. Wish I had bugzilla numbers, but not handy at this time :(

F-11-Beta - who/what/when/where/why?

  • AdamW confirmed with JesseKeating that the F11Beta bug triage efforts were effective

F11Beta blocking bugs

  • Much of the last week was spent

Building the Beta Known issues

  • Main issues so far include:
    1. Previous disk partition layout problems
    2. Upgrade testing issues
    3. Kickstart installs fragile
  • AdamW noted that we might not be communicating the known issues effectively since a lot of Alpha testers didn't know about the rpm issue
    • Make each known issue a unique section header in the wiki
    • Should anaconda display release notes again (or pull down release notes from an html page)?
    • Perhaps a desktop menu link for release notes (see fedora-release-notes package)
    • Does firefox include the release notes link? (see fedora-release-notes package)
    • Result - QA team must internally reference the Beta release notes known issues in all IRC and email communication.

The Beta RC Process

  • Jlaska asked to discuss the Beta RC build, test and release process
    • What information does JesseKeating need to release the bits to the mirrors - confirmation of the anaconda-devel beta readiness criteria
    • When do we have to get that feedback in? - Meet Friday around noon in #fedora-qa to provide test feedback
  • AdamW asked if it's possible to open up RC testing to a wider audience?
    • we tried in the past, but it flooded the download site and no one could test
    • Would be good to engage people, perhaps time better spent engaging during Rawhide cycle for testing Rawhide
  • Jlaska suggested we gather in #fedora-qa on Friday afternoon to discuss RC test feedback
    • JesseKeating recommended we invite the anaconda-devel team

Open discussion

Development Schedule Proposal

Wwoods introduced a new Fedora release schedule concept - lengthen the development/test cycle beyond 6 months

Upcoming QA events

Action items

  • [f13+wwoods] - autoqa status update
  • [adamw] - schedule radeon test day
  • [jlaska] - copy F11 beta test results wiki changes into the wiki template (several test case additions)
  • [wwoods] - to add some upgrade test cases to the beta results page (and template)
  • [jlaska] - add Beta known issues for previous disk contents, kickstart issues, KVM NAT networking problems (use static ip)
  • [wwoods] - document any upgrade issues in the Beta release notes
  • [jlaska] - setup meeting to review RC test results for Friday afternoon to include release engineering (JesseKeating) and anaconda-devel and any RC testers.
