Fedora Remix OS testing strategy

Former Member

What is the strategy for testing the Fedora Remix OS prior to release to customers?

 

It is apparent from the recall of the first release of Fedora Remix that neither

Seneca nor the Foundation nor Farnell is doing adequate OS testing before

making it available for download.

 

What are the plans to improve this situation?

 

Will the Foundation, which reportedly has no employees get involved

in OS testing? 

 

Will Farnell get involved with OS testing?

 

Will OS testing get subcontracted out?

 

Will there be beta releases of the OS?

 

What OS capabilities will get tested?

 

What applications will get tested?

 

What performance criteria will get tested,

such as boot time, ability to keep up with user input,

X Window performance?

 

What stability criteria will get tested, such as

frequency of needing reboot?

  • mate, I think you got the idea of this project all wrong. If all you wanna do is get the board and just load a pre-compiled OS onto it and have enerything served on a plate, then this might not be the right tool for you.

     

    I'm guessing you have had no previous experience with free/open source software. Otherwise you would know that the software is made available to you without any warranty you decide to use it under your own responsability.

     

    Element14 is selling the hardware and that is all there is. If someone compiles a bundle of software for the Raspberry Pi and makes it available under a Free/open source licence then he nor the foundation nor farnell have any responsability.

     

    you might be better served if you ask IBM, Oracle or Microsoft for a subscription/paid licence based OS for your Raspberry Pi.
