 Wouldn't it be a good idea to setup testcases that address DHCP-less

We have done IPv6 testing for the last few releases; a couple of
community members were very helpful in checking that F18 and F19 worked
out of the box in a typical IPv6 environment, and we took showstopper
bugs in IPv6 as release blockers. We've had a couple of IPv6 test days
too. It would certainly be good to continue this effort, perhaps with a
test day for F20 or F21.

Testcases for no-DHCP and IPv6

2013-10-12 Thread A.J. Werkman 

Hi,

In testing Fedora from my experience, the idea emerges, that most 
development and testing is done in a network environment with an IPv4 
DHCP server running.


Testing in a network environment without DHCP and/or IPv6 only makes 
bugs come up, that are not found so easily when testing in the current 
testmatrix.

network environment and IPv6-only network environment.


DHCP-less network might be considered non-evident. But as Fedora can be 
used as DHCP-server, installing a Fedora DHCP-server, by definition I 
would say, is a case where a sysadmin is confronted with this situation.


IPv6 on the other end is the technology of the future. And as Fedora 
positions itself as 'cutting edge technology', I would consider the need 
for IPv6 testcases evident.
