Testing release images - Call for help
Hi there, We have the release of Buster scheduled to happen next Saturday. As always on a release day new iso images are generated and *before* they get signed we try and smoke test them to make sure that the builds went ok and nothing critical is missing from the manifests. We do the same for live images as well. If you can spare the time your help would be greatly appreciated in testing some of these images on the day. If you have time to test before then too, that would be even more helpful! Along with the usual amd64/i386/arm64 installer builds we'll be explicitly testing, we need specific help for testing LIVE images (including 2 different install methods) on BARE METAL PCs (i.e. NOT a VM). We are looking for tests to be carried out on machines running BIOS as well as UEFI. Buster will also be our first Debian release to include support for UEFI Secure Boot, and more test coverage there would be lovely. Additionally we are also looking for people who can test the following: * debian-mac.10.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso * debian-mac.10.0.0-i386-netinst.iso * debian-10.0.0-mips-*.iso (Multiple images) * debian-10.0.0-mipsel-*.iso (Multiple images) * debian-10.0.0-mips64el-*.iso (Multiple images) * debian-10.0.0-ppc64el-*.iso (Multiple images) * debian-10.0.0-s390x-*.iso(Multiple images) On release day (Saturday 6th July), we are expecting installer images to become available from around 1300 UTC, with live images between 1.5 and 2 hours later. To get a reasonable coverage of DI there is a wiki matrix [0] of the install tests that we will perform (although feel free to try 'your' specific install options. Wiki is not the *best* solution for a matrix that will change quite a bit during the test process, it is far to easy to have edit clashes. To reduce this we try and coordinate our action in on #debian-cd or irc.debian.org Please check in on irc *before* starting a test to reduce duplicate tests being carried out. Finally if you want to get in some early testing of DI over the next few days please do. if you find a critical problem there may just be enough time to fix it Let's make buster the smoothest release yet :-) /Andy [0] https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianCD/ReleaseTesting/Buster_r0
