== proventesters ==
Jlaska asked the group what tasks remain in order to move forward on defining the ''proventesters'' group and workflow.
* Adam noted that Jkeating may be working several tasks on this front. * Jlaska directed those interested in defining providetesters, to provide feedback to maxamillion's [http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-March/088980.html email].
== Privilege Escalation test ==
Adamw reminded the group that we've not yet defined test cases to validate the recently approved [[Privilege_escalation_policy]].
* Adamw felt the first step is to come up with the script to identify privesc-relevant packages. * Kparal asked whether these would be automated tests, or tests more like the desktop validation plan. Discussion followed on the appropriate place to automate these * The group discussed candidate packages to inspect for polkit changes, including polkit configs, setuid binaries, certain d-bus config files, consolehelper files and pam configs. * Adam took action to discuss a privileged package detection script with wwoods
== Open discussion - <Your topic here> ==
=== Update Policy Proposals ===
Kparal clarified that current package update proposals require that deps/conflicts tests occur whenever a package enters ''updates'' '''and''' ''updates-testing''. Kparal also discussed concerns around AutoQA being a bottleneck for packages.
=== AutoQA packaging ===
Adamw asked how AutoQA packaging was progressing.
* Jlaska noted that packaging wasn't moving, and that a FAD is being planned to help work down the list of java %buildrequires. More information will be sent to [mailto:java-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org] later in the week.
