On 26th of August there was an OpenSCAP Test Day [1]. Thanks everyone for showing up. The attendance was not absolutely great, but it was quite decent taking into account this software is not widely known and used.
This test day has shown very helpful for OpenSCAP developers since many problems were discovered. Some of them were reported into bugzilla, here's the list:
627633 NEW - [abrt] firstaidkit-engine-0.2.12-1.fc14: raise: Process /usr/bin/python was killed by signal 6 (SIGABRT) 627600 NEW - Set net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects for Hosts and Routers fails 627674 NEW - Failures on F13 565691 ASSIGNED - file probe eats too much memory even for small file lists 627488 CLOSED RAWHIDE - buffer overflow detected in xccdf_item_to_dom
Others were communicated over IRC, posted as wiki comments or put onto fpaste. The soon-to-be-available OpenSCAP 0.6.2 version should address most of those shortcomings. Developers also learnt an important lesson about memory requirements of this software in different software setups, because it caused problems on many computers.
Thanks developers for actively solving problems and posting fixed versions and testers for helping to improve this upcoming Fedora 14 feature.
See you on the next test day, Kamil Paral
