Oh, one more thing - similarly to _bios and _uefi test cases, I'd like to change existing _workstation_encrypted test case to just _encrypted test case - it shouldn't matter which package set is installed to verify that there's no issue with unlocking your drives. This way you can easily fill 3 test cases with just a single test (e.g. minimal + encrypted + bios). -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/test@lists.fedoraproject.org
