Who's available

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...

Prerequisite for Test Day

  • A system with a network connection
  • Rawhide (tips on installing Rawhide below)
  • The rpm file will be prepared to install all test cases included necessary dependencies. Before installation of this package you need to allow debuginfo for rawhide in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo

Download rpm and run:

* yum localinstall testday-pm-0.1-1.fc12.noarch.rpm

For scomes test you need to have the same version of kernel and kernel-debuginfo.

* uname -a
* rpm -q kernel-debuginfo

How to test?

Update your machine

See the instructions on the Rawhide page on the various ways in which you can install or update to Rawhide. Or:


Test Cases

TestCase Description Extra Requirements
