[Test-Announce] Fedora12 RC install test Nov4-Nov11

[Liam-2]

hello,

       Take Adam Williamson suggestion,just to draw your attention to RC
install testing here :). Actually we started install against TC on
Nov4,please see previous mails.This is the last install testing for F12
before GA,so it's very important to estimate whether f12 is qualified
enough to release after lots of bugs were fixed. If you are interested,
please download ISO at:
   http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/12-RC.1/
I have created a matrix for testers to add test results at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_12_RC1_Install

More details,please see test matrix.

Thanks
Liam

Am I still asleep or does the test ask us to use a user name for a non
user name connection.


    QA/TestCases/InstallSourceFtpAnonymous


  Steps To Reproduce

   1. Boot the installation program
   2. When prompted by stage#1 loader, enter a hostname and path for a
      FTP accessible installation source.
   3. Provide a non-anonymous username and password to use for the
      connection

Hi Shmuel, thanks for your remind, I just noticed the step3 in this
case. :-)
Usually I use method=ftp://<path> as kernel parameter to test this case.
So here the step 3 looks wired. I will confirm it and modify if needed.

Thanks,
He Rui

Oops, that might be a copy'n'paste error on my part when cleaning up
that case a while back.

I've updated the test case to use Template:QA/Test_Case. I've also
adjusted the instructions.  Can someone help review the changes?

Thanks for catching,
James

I would like to see a few changes to the page.

1) Currently it says "you must also direct the installer to use an FTP
installation source by adding the |askmethod| boot argument. "
But askmethod doesn't direct the installer to use the FTP source.
Instead, indicate the askmethod will allow the user to choose a URL install.
2) Please indicate how the tester can verify that anaconda used the
requested install.img and package repository

As a side note, anaconda from rc1 crashed in yumRepo.py line 828 because
of nomoremirrorsrepoerror. It should probably catch the condition and
allow to try again.

Just a heads-up that RC4 has been composed,testers can download from:
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/12-RC.4/
and please add test results to:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_12_RC4_Install

Thanks

This should be reflected in the current test case.  It no longer
specifies using 'askmethod'.

Good tip, I've updated the case with some guidance here.

Can you please file a bug to track this issue?

Thanks,
James
