I am hoping that an installation procedure that will not install would
be considered a critical/major blocker.
It stops everyone trying to get started with CloudStack and generates a
ton of work in this forum fixing installations that are not working.
The dev team asked for help, we read the docs, wrote the JIRAs. Some of
the fixes for the JIRAs are pretty clear and some require a bit of
thought and some restructuring of the docs to get rid of useless
commentary or to move stuff from one place to another.
Someone has to fix the docs or fix the software to match the docs.
There are probably more bugs in the installation but since I have never
been able to find out the exact error or omission that causes the
problem, I have not been able to write a JIRA for that.
I have never been able to get it to install so I can not even suggest
how to describe the network setup in a way that makes sense and works.
The installation needs to be tested by someone who will know that the
step is wrong or that some other step needs to be added.
I am willing to act as a dumb sysadmin beside someone who knows what it
is supposed to say but I have written as many JIRAs as I know how, at
the moment

Blockers are usually the issues that prevent a release. Other bugs
are often fixed in a point release. Time based released makes it a
little interesting.
They did recently ask for help on the docs from the community.

I hope that someone on the dev side is checking for outstanding issues
before putting it to a vote.
There is no point asking us to write JIRA issues if they are not going
to be addressed.
These documentation problems have been around for a long time without
getting fixed and they cause a lot of problems.
Has anyone tested the installation instructions as part of the QA
testing process?
