[Test-Announce] BoxGrinder Build 0.9.1 Test Recap

The 28th April 2011 marked BoxGrinder Build's [1] inaugural Fedora Test Day session, attracting a modest number of users who helped run though a variety of test-cases for release 0.9.1. In the course of testing only two major unanticipated bugs were encountered, along with several known issues for Fedora 15 appliances, but no blockers preventing inclusion in the distribution. These problems have since been remediated in the upcoming 0.9.2 release [2], along with some new features and improvements [3]. ## JIRA tickets raised [BGBUILD-210] Parameters are not being expanded, and cause early string truncation. (Created: 28/Apr/11, Updated: 10/May/11, Resolved: 10/May/11) https://issues.jboss.org/browse/BGBUILD-210 This issue was a side-effect of our move to improved YAML parsing and validation. [BGBUILD-207] Guestfs dies on Fedora 15 with 'KVM not supported for this target' message (Created: 28/Apr/11, Updated: 12/May/11, Resolved: 12/May/11) https://issues.jboss.org/browse/BGBUILD-207 An upstream issue with QEMU, which has subsequently been worked around. ## Thanks We would like to extend our gratitude to the following users who generously gave their time to assist in betterment of BoxGrinder Build (in no particular order); * gospo * verdurin * Tim Flink (tflink) * ktofte * Bertrand Juglas (bertux) A special mention for bertux, who is going to deliver a talk on BoxGrinder Build at the Fedora 15 release party in Paris!
