#173: Obsoleting the tests for verifying http/nfs/ftp/hard disk install sources -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: rhe | Owner: rhe Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 15 Component: Wiki | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- = problem = Now that install.img is included in initrd.img, it can no longer be loaded from somewhere else other than media, therefore Using 'askmethod' is actually the same as 'repo=' which is to direct anaconda using a specific package repo.
= analysis = So I propose to obsolete the install source test cases of install sources from http, nfs, ftp, hd, and only test the package repositories of these methods.
= enhancement recommendation =
The following tests will be kept: - [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceBootIso InstallSourceBootIso] - [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceDvd InstallSourceDvd] - [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:TestCases/Install_Source_Live_Image Install_Source_Live_Image]
The following will be obsoleted: - [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceHttp InstallSourceHttp] - [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceNfs InstallSourceNfs] - [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceNfsIso InstallSourceNfsIso] - [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceFtpAnonymous InstallSourceFtpAnonymous] - [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceFtpNonAnonymous InstallSourceFtpNonAnonymous] - [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceHardDrive InstallSourceHardDrive]
Current package repository tests are listed at: [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Repository Category:Repository]
Hard disk and nfs iso repo tests need be added, then they'll cover all package install methods.
clumens, how do you think of these? do the remaining tests(install source+repo) cover the common use cases?
