That's how new versions of packages get built and released.  copr is more for testing or for people that aren't official packagers to build packages or for packages that aren't suitable or reviewed for putting in the distro (packaging reasons, not legal reasons). Anyone can look at koji to get some older versions of packages or packages that have been built, but not put in a repo yet.  Or just to find out what versions of a package have ever been built.

Is there a tutorial online or something for persons interested in testing things. I wouldn't even know where to go to get images needing testing. I have picked up on terms like Bhodi and Bugzilla that might be for testing. These things have to be reported somehow. I guess what I am asking is there someone or some place to go if you are interested in testing and reporting results? copr isn't for "testers" as you mean. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/ is where you can see pending updates and indicate if they're good or not. bugzilla is for reporting bugs.

The test list is for people that want to do testing. You can introduce yourself there and ask what you can do for testing. Or even look through the archive for other people joining and see the documents that they are referred to. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

And I know virtual machines are involved. I might be interested in this but I have no idea how to proceed. AFAIK there is no development involved they test and report back, via bhodi and such. Do you know what it is I am referring too?

I will post this here since the test list is low traffic; I don't believe it is OT. Is koji only used for the testers? I know fedpkg is for development and there is a build system too called "Copr". I am only interested in looking into testing. So to begin this would an interested person look into koji? I posted something like this to a list before and it wasn't answered so I assumed there was no interest or others were busy.     Is the only place to go to here concerning testing docs.fedoraproject.org? Does anyone here do testing?
