Hi folks,
I've been pretty busy during the last months, but I plan to return back
on track as soon as possible (at least for the F26 cycle), in order to
help with some testing.
As far as release validation testing concerns... I noticed I haven't
received the [Test-Announce] related to the nomination of the "Fedora
25 Beta 1.1" compose. The most recent one is "20160912.n.0", according
to my notes.
The format used for the email for candidate composes is rather
different to the format used for nightly composes (for mostly
historical reasons which don't make much sense, I should get around to
fixing that). The subject for the Beta-1.1 mail was:
"Fedora 25 Candidate Beta-1.1 Available Now!"
while the subjects for nightly nomination mails look like:
"Fedora 25 Branched 20160930.n.0 nightly compose nominated for testing"
the justification (such as it is) is that *all* candidate builds are
*automatically* validation tested, while we pick and choose which
nightlies we will test (hence 'nominated for testing'). But it's still
silly, I should just rationalize them somehow.
Perhaps it's a problem of mine... Perhaps I messed up with my
filters,
or Google's spam facility is interfering, since the web says that there
have been other announces in the meantime (
https://lists.fedoraproject.
org/archives/search?q=%5Btest-
announce%5D&page=1&mlist=devel%40lists.fedoraproject.org&sort=date-desc
).
I received mails from Adam correctly, but I didn't receive the ones
from "Fedora compose checker" at all.
Those mails are sent to both test@ and devel@; possibly they're winding
up in your devel@ folder?
Has anything changed during the last weeks? Could please folks
verify
that there aren't issues related to the automatic mail system lying
around?
Sorry to disappoint you, but there isn't really any gleaming Fedora
Mail-O-Matic machine. The 'compose check report' mails are sent out by
the openQA server box; the check-compose script simply uses python
smtplib to open a connection to an SMTP server that's available to
systems inside the Fedora infrastructure network and sends the mail out
that way. The validation test announce emails aren't sent by a Fedora
box at all, in fact, that service just runs on one of my personal
systems, the same system that hosts
www.happyassassin.net ; the
relvalconsumer code similarly just sends out a mail using smtplib,
which gets delivered via my own mail server.
