I have been, although with a lot of packages changing underneath
right up to the last minute they have not been given a thorough
workout.
I ask because xen cloud image issues have the potential to block
release. I know that I haven't been paying much attention to the
cloud images for F18 and I suspect that most of the QA regulars are in
a similar boat - consumed with other F18 testing stuff. I just wanted
to make sure that there weren't major issues lurking in the AMIs.
The AMI ID of the TC3 build is ami-3d2fa254, and you can definitely
look at that, but Release Engineering should be cooking up a newer
version based on RC1 any minute now and it'd obviously be more useful
to test that. Will post (or Dennis will) when they're available.
Not coincidentally at all, I'm working on a proposal for doing nightly
images in a more automated fashion for F18, and getting those images
tested in a more regular way. Your suggestions welcome. (Rough idea:
automatically build in koji either nightly or weekly. Automatically
push to Fedora local cloud and run unit tests. Also, AMIs available
in Amazon at alpha and beta.)
Does that mean that we'll have more instance store images or are we
keeping with the EBS-only images that we have been producing?
I'm curious what you have in mind for how the tests would be run
(framework, runner, language etc.), how you'd store the results, how
the results would be analyzed and what kinds of tests you were
interested in running.
