rawhide - nightly composes
I have been using rawhide primarily for more than a year and every time something goes wrong I got to get back to an installer image which is so old that with almost all the component packages to be replaced with the next update. I have tried almost about 15 live images from the nightly composes repository http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/tasks?state=allview=treemethod=livecdorder=-idand none of them finished a installation in the last 3-4 months. I know its not tested by the QA but I know there must be some image out the zillions of live images built there must have worked for someone else and If there is some way to add karma to the live images which works I would not have to waste my bandwidth downloading all the non-working images. All I ask here please give an option to add karma to the nightly composes so that people would know which images will work. If this is not the right place for this discussion please guide me where I should. thanks, Piruthiviraj Natarajan -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

I've been using today's nightly to do some test installs, FWIW, and it gets most of the way through but then explodes with a keyboard layout configuration problem.

I shall certainly file a bug report for the non-working images. @Adam I'm not sure manual 'voting' on installer images is a good way to go, since there's such a huge variety of possible experiences with the installer. I understand your concern, but something(voting) is better than nothing right? but if there is better solution as you have mentioned is coming right up in a short while that is very much welcome. Debian releases CD images every week for their testing repository and they rarely fail to finish an installation on multiple systems I have tested. I think Fedora rawhide images has to be sturdy as well which will allow more people to test rawhide.

But if you're hitting the same bug repeatedly over a long time, yup, file it. Also, I guess it can't hurt to send an impromptu note to test@ if you do a successful install from a nightly, and say 'hey, I did an install with nightly 2014-xx-xx and it worked!', or whatever - that could be a handy pointer for others. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

Since there is no 64bit iso right now, is there a way to create my own? I tried using setarch x86_64 livecd-creator ... , but it does not know what architecture I have typed ...
