anyone has concerns on these.
I'm currently working on a plan to expand desktop validation testing.
As
part of the discussion around this, Christoph Wickert proposed
several
additions to the release criteria that seem sensible to me. I'd like
to
propose we add these to the criteria for F14 and on:
* Saving passwords in the desktop default keyring (if the desktop
implements one), and retrieving passwords from the keyring, must
work
* The desktop default update manager must not periodically check for
updates when the system is booted live, but must periodically check
for
updates when running on an installed system
How hard is this to check?
* The desktop's offered mechanisms for shutting down, logging out and
rebooting must work
Anyone have comments or objections to these?
And what about this one additional:
* Network interfaces must be configured properly and automatically
enabled on boot so that Internet/LAN connection works by default
whenever possible. This requirement does not apply when custom
networking properties are chosen during installation process.
I'm talking about the infamous "feature" of Fedora that forces user
to enable networking every time after boot if he installed the system
from DVD (most cases anyway). It is really bad experience, we should
make sure it doesn't happen next time.
