Current testing needs
The following is a list of things which need to be tested to help ensure a valid tree.
Install Type | Install Arch | Install Details | Tester |
Upgrade NFS | i386 | Testing FC 4 everything (updated) install upgraded with anaconda, to check for trailing packages . Anaconda blacklist works (s-c-mouse removed). 58 pkgs in yum list extras (using install repo only) | PaulNasrat |
Text mode FTP/HTTP | Any | Need to ensure that sqlite is getting pulled into the text HTTP/FTP images. Booting with 'linux text' should ensure that minstg2.img gets used and then check anaconda.log to ensure we're not falling back from sqlite cache | PaulNasrat |
dmraid root | Any | Need to ensure that using dmraid for the root and boot filesystems gets set up properly for grub, etc PASSED! | JesseKeating |
mdraid root | Any | Need to ensure that using mdraid for the root filesystem gets setup properly for grub, etc PASSED | JesseKeating |
SELinux check | All | Need to ensure that fresh installs of all arches come up without any SELinux AVC errors Couple of mount AVC errors, not preventing anything from working | JesseKeating |
VNC | Any | Make sure vnc installs work with connect parameters, password param, or none at all - Passed (pw or no pw) | JesseKeating |
Any | All | No devel packages unless Development group selected ppc passed - x86_64 passed - i386 passed | JesseKeating |
CD | All | Make sure that default is only 2 cds, or default minus Office stuff i386 passed - ppc passed - x86_64 passed | JesseKeating |
CD | All | Media Check Passes i386 passed | |
DVD | All | Media Check Passes |

Location of current internal Final candidate
For testers within Red Hat, the current tree is redhat/devel/fc5/trees/FC-5-20060314.4 (syncing to qafiler now). Unfortunately, our infrastructure doesn't currently allow for pushing every candidate tree out and thus the granularity of trees is daily with rawhide.
