Hi All,
During the default DE discussions, a number of WG members expressed
interest in keeping KDE as a release blocking DE for Workstation. QA
is now asking FESCo about KDE's status as well in
https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1243
So if KDE is going to be a release blocking DE for Workstation, we
need to figure out how exactly it gets installed and what manner it
would be tested in. In the above ticket I came up with the following:
install the Workstation live image, install KDE through
software-installer (if necessary), log into KDE from GDM after
install, test
Yes, that is roughly what Christian outlined as the vision for
alternative desktops and the workstation. Note that the software
installer does not currently have the required functionality (install
alternative desktops or other large sets of related software like, say,
'Ruby support').
I don't think that any of the alternative desktops should be release
blocking, though.
However, that was entirely off the top of my head. Would the live
image be large enough to contain the KDE Workstation already or would
a user/QA tester need to install it through the software-installer?
What tests should be done? Etc.
And I don't think there should be a 'KDE workstation'.
