Yes, absolutely! If a test is labeled as Final, that means that a

failure of the test likely blocks the Final release. But that doesn't

mean we should only run the Alpha tests on Alpha candidates and only

the Alpha+Beta tests on Beta candidates; we should run as many of the

tests as possible on all candidates, because it's much better to find

and fix *all* the important bugs early. If we can find a Final blocker

now and fix it, that's so much the better than waiting till after Beta

comes out :)

That sounds exactly right, yep! Thanks very much for running this. A

similar check is actually run on each compose automatically by releng,

and that confirms your test:

 

https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/branched/Fedora-26-20170523.n.0/logs/x86_64/repoclosure-Server.x86_64.log

 

I keep meaning to set up a little thing to take the releng test result

and report it to the wiki, but haven't got around to it yet.
