I'm looking to set up a proof of concept deployment of Testopia for Fedora. The idea is to experiment with managing installation testing via this, to see if it works better than using the wiki. There are various XML-RPC hooks it supports that might help with automating some of our testing.
It patches the core of Bugzilla, and hence has to be built as part of the core package, rather than a separate srpm. I've submitted a testopia package for review as bug 450013.
We wouldn't be using the bug-tracking capabilities of it; instead treat the bz nature of it as simply the libraries/modules that form the run-time environment.
For now I'd like a virtual machine as a playground for setting this up. RHEL5.2 OS, 1 gig memory, and 10 gig of disk space would probably be adequate for now.
I have no idea what the resource constraints are like for Fedora, so if this is unreasonable then please say so.
I've agreed to sponsor these folks in this request for resources. I'll get a ticket filed today and start work. Mike McGrath has granted me the right to use publictest2 once I've confirmed that all users of this test instance are done with it.
