Testing checklist for new releases
We need a checklist fo things that need to be tested whenever there is a new release. Something that can be printed and marked out once verified works.
For example:
- Boot from cdrom
- run setup-alpine
- lbu commit to usb
- reboot and check it comes back
- lbu commit to encrypted apkovl with password
- reboot and check if comes back
etc.
For vserver we could have soemthing like: create vserver guest… test
that it runs.
Some of the tests could be automated and run via virtual serial console in qemu, some of the should include run from real hardware.
Once we have a specification what to test we could find people to actually run the test for each release candidate.
Can be done on the http://wiki.alpinelinux.org site.
