Fedora Security Spin QA Efforts
by Adam Miller 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Hello all, This is mainly going out to those who are interested in the (hopefully) upcoming Security Spin. I want to establish some QA efforts as to provide a high quality experience to security professionals and hobbyists alike who are interested in the project. I would like to first do a break down of test cases for all the security-centric packages involved in the security spin as that is the "bread and butter" of the spin and are generally "niche" applications which require some sort of expertise or a slightly higher learning curve than your average web browser (just for example). Once that part is complete, I would also like to apply AdamW's Desktop Test Cases to it in order to get a higher level outlook of making sure that portion of the Spin is of high quality as well. Here is the current list of packages shipped with the Security Spin: https://fedorahosted.org/security-spin/wiki/availableApps if anyone is familiar with any of these apps it would be greatly appreciated if you could put together a short snippet or "how to" for basic use that can be used for a test case. Feel free to reply here to this thread and I can input them into the wiki or post your results here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SecuritySpin:QA_Brainstorm Many thanks to all, -AdamM -- http://maxamillion.googlepages.com --------------------------------------------------------- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Critical Path Wranglers - Draft Proposal
by Adam Miller 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

In the last QA meeting it was discussed that we needed some set of policies or guidelines for handling memberships to the QA FAS group for adding karma to the packages within the critical path of F13 (or Fedora CURRENT_RELEASE+1). I volunteered to draft up such a document in the wiki and I snagged a little bit of the wiki mark up from the Ambassadors join page as a template, so thanks to who ever authored that one. Some notes on my Draft, I thought of putting together policies but I don't entirely find this a policy style situation but I consider it a "case by case" basis just as the Proven Packager process is. Its essentially a "does this person do consistently good QA work?" situation that (in my opinion) should be under review by peers to decide their state of readiness to be responsible for karma that goes into the Critical Path packages. Ok, intro and disclaimer aside. Here's my proposal: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/JoinCriticalPathWranglers:Draft There are some details on the mentors concept that I think would need working out (denoted by the FIXME bit) that I assume can be worked on at the next QA meeting. Questions, comments, and snide remarks welcome! -AdamM -- http://maxamillion.googlepages.com --------------------------------------------------------- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Mainly, since Fedora QA doesn't have a lot of experience/skill in this technical area. That said ... I'm sure there are communities that might be interested in participating? So, some questions to help explore our options ... 1. What external customers/communities should we solicit for attendance? 2. What is required to participate? 1. What distro? F12, Rawhide, other? 2. Installed system or Live image? 3. System requirements (single system or multiple)? 4. Can a virtual lab be used? 3. What test feedback is needed? 1. Is there a hardware-specific component where community contributor feedback would be helpful (i.e. like xorg-x11-drv-* test days where testers all have different hardware?) 2. Is there software-specific components where community feedback is needed? (for example, running tests against different versions of nfs (client+server), or across F-12, F-11 and rawhide)? -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/48> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance

F14 already...
by Adam Pribyl 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Yesterdays update of my test machine brought it to Fedora 14, but I would rather follow the F13 line. I understand the No_Frozen_Rawhide effort, but did I miss the branch point to follow F13 instead moving further with rawhide? BTW: Is it not too soon to call it Fedora 14? Would it not be better to use at least in /etc/issue something like Rawhide or Fedora 13.90? I know of a newbie users reporting me problems with Fedora in past - they enabled the rawhide repo and were happily using Fedora <stable>+1. Now I can imagine users comming and reporting even Fedora <stable>+2 issues, while even <stable>+1 is not released. Adam Pribyl

[Test-Announce] Yum Langpack Plugin Test Day Thursday 2010-02-25
by He Rui 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Greetings Everyone, YumLangpackPlugin Test day is coming up: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-02-25_YumLangpackPlugin This event will focus on a yum plugin that allows langpacks to be automatically installed for your native language when base packages with langpacks get installed. So testing it with various languages is highly welcomed to this test day. In the past, we had to install the langpack of some packages such as kde openoffice manually, see bug433512[1]. But now such langpack can be installed automatically if yum-langpacks installed in advance. Good news is that these cases steps can be easily followed and even execute on a F12 system. If you are trying to install a F13 system in your local language, you are already attending this test day! Check the above link for detailed results. Please come to this event and learn this useful plugin. I'm sure you'll feel fun from it！o(*￣▽￣*)o Thanks, He Rui [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=433512 -- Contacts FAS Name: Rhe Location: Beijing/UTC+8 TEL: 86-010-62608141 IRC nick: rhe #fedora-qa #fedora-zh

LiveInst does not recognize existing LV layout
by Martin Sourada 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

So, I'm playing with the thought of installing Rawhide (the frozen one; it's the time of year for me to start testing it again) and the quickest way seemed to download a nightly snapshot of desktop live, weep F11 partition (I dual boot with F12) and install on it. However, I have all the partitions, sans /boot, in a LV Group... And the live installer does not seem to be able to reuse it and since I want to wipe only two partitions out of the four in the lvg, I'm stuck. In more detail -- I've chosen custom layout and the installer detected two partitions -- ext3 /boot and physical lvm partition, but not the volume group and volumes inside it :( Gnome tools see those partitions though and are able to mount them without issues... So, I figured it would be best to ask here first whether this is expected (or if it might be issue on my side) and if not, I'll file a bug report. Thanks, Martin
