We should post a link to iso files for testing rawhide as soon as
humanly possible, so we can get rid of those shopstoppers. My 2 cents.
There is an upcoming checkpoint scheduled [1] for the creation of ISO
images for testing on Wed July 29, 2009. Liam Li plans kick the tires
with a more organized collaborative testing at that time (stay tuned).
However, until then you still have many ways to test rawhide installs
[2], including:
* Download and install from rawhide boot.iso
* Download and install using rawhide PXE images
* Create a rawhide live image [3] (or use a recent test day image
[4])
For any issues you encounter, I can advise that you
1. set an appropriate defect severity (see
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/BugStatusWorkFlow#Severity)
2. if not high severity, but you feel this should be considered for
resolution in F-12-Alpha ... mark the defect as blocking
bug#F12Alpha.
Happy testing!
Thanks,
James
