If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.
What to test?
Today's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on BoxGrinder Build
Who's available
The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...
- Development - Marek Goldmann (mgoldmann)
- Quality Assurance - Tester1 (irc_nick3), Tester2 (irc_nick4), Tester3 (irc_nick5)
Prerequisite for Test Day
- An updated Fedora 15 pre-release, Rawhide (tips on installing Rawhide below), or a nightly live image
- Your hardware profile uploaded to Smolt according to these instructions
- At least 15GB of free space available on a storage device (or more, depending on your later definition choices)
- Internet connectivity for the test machines (or an active local YUM repository mirror)
- Standard Fedora repositories must be available
Several GB of space may be required transiently during the build process, in addition to storage of appliances produced and caching. Any mountable storage with Read/Write access should be suitable (e.g. HDD, USB flash drive, eSATA disk).
Be aware that you may transfer several GB of files in the course of testing.
Prepare your environment
If you're testing with the BoxGrinder Test Day Meta-Appliance, then everything is already prepared for you. Otherwise, it is a matter of a few simple steps to prepare your environment.
- Install rubygem-boxgrinder-build and git via your favoured package manager. For instance, in YUM:
su -c "yum install -y git rubygem-boxgrinder-build"
How to test?
Test Day Virtual Image
The Virtual Images will appear nearer the date of the Test Day
Optionally, a pre-prepared BoxGrinder Virtual Images are available in multiple formats for your architecture.
- Download the Test Day Meta-Appliance in your preferred format, and run in your favourite virtualization software.
Update your machine to Fedora 15
If you're running Fedora <=14, make sure you have all the current updates for it installed, using the update manager. If you want to try Rawhide, see the instructions on the Rawhide page on the various ways in which you can install or update to Rawhide.
