Hello Everyone:

I am Amit. I shall be working on the project On-Demand Fedora Build
Service [1], as part of the Google Summer of Code 2012. Over the past
few weeks, I have been in touch with Tim Flink, who is my mentor for
this project and we have been discussing (well, Tim has been sharing
his thoughts) with me about how we could build a more friendly image
building system to help the Fedora QA community during the testing
phase.

I shall have more updates as I progress on this project, and I shall
look forward to your thoughts and comments on the proposed project.

Since I am very much a newbie to the Fedora QA community (not Fedora),
I might have some silly questions to ask.

Hello and welcome Amit!

Whilst I'm not very active in the Fedora QA community, I am a mentor for 
another GSOC project (Audio spin), with which we also hope to indulge 
more upon the support of the QA team. Will watch your progress with 
interest - perhaps you can share the URL of your blog?


regards,

Brendan

Hi Amit, and welcome! Thanks very much for volunteering for this
project, it would be a big benefit to QA if it can be successfully
created.

Welcome to QA land and congratulations again on being accepted for GSoC!

I'm certainly looking forward to seeing this happen but then again, I tend to be
one of the people who is building test images by hand :)

2012-04-25 Thread John Reiser
 how we could build a more friendly image
 building system to help the Fedora QA community during the testing
 phase.

Short latency tends to improve friendliness.  By fiddling with pungi
environment, I'm down to about 9.5 minutes to create an install .iso
after downloads have finished.

If makedeltaiso produced a new .iso from an old .iso plus a list of
changed .rpms, then that might help (as long as the changes involve
no new dependencies.)
