Hongqing used to maintain rats_install and rats_sanity tests.
Because
he has left, we need to find a new maintainer or remove the tests.
- rats_sanity has some minor scheduling issues, I'm working on it
just now. Apart from that it shouldn't be a problematic test.
- rats_install is currently broken, and we can start fixing it only
after anaconda releases some new compose (with serial console
install included). This is a problematic test and will probably
require lots of maintenance (according to anaconda changes
throughout the Branched period).
Tao, do you feel like taking Hongqing's former responsibilities? Is
there any other volunteer?
I have talked to Tao and he doesn't seem to be willing to take over rats_install
maintenance and he suggested to remove the test from our repository. I am not sure about
rats_sanity.
Tao, can you please confirm your position on rats_sanity? Thanks.
Regarding rats_install: It seems to be a bit shame to throw away a test that we completed
quite recently. I know it's highly problematic, but we won't probably get much
better in low-level installation testing anyway (as opposed to graphical installation
testing, which has different disadvantages). If no one volunteers to maintain this test,
I'll try my best to update it to F18 process. I already have quite some experience
with it. If I fail and no one else wants to work on it, then we will have to decide what
to do with it.
Comments welcome.
