[Rdo-list] FYI - Fedora.next calls for early testing (and some details on how)

For those of you that live on the bleeding-edge testing RDO on Fedora, Fedora project is going through a lot of changes (dubbed as 'Fedora.next') in its upcoming release cycle. And, the project is looking for early testers/tinkerers to make the release a success. If you have spare cycles, please spend some time testing (heads-up: it'll be very disruptive) Fedora Rawhide (that'll be 21) for your regular work-flows w/ RDO, etc. You can trivially test[1] Fedora's latest bits (Rawhide) in a virtual machine, like that (below is a way I prefer): Create a Fedora 20-VM with a 40GB disk image, update, install Rawhide packages: $ virt-builder fedora-20 -o rawhide.qcow2 --format qcow2 \ --update --selinux-relabel --size 40G\ --install "fedora-release-rawhide yum-utils" Import the disk image into libvirt: $ virt-install --name rawhide --ram 4096 --disk \ path=/home/kashyapc/rawhide.qcow2,format=qcow2,cache=none \ --import Login via serial console into the guest, upgrade to Rawhide: $ yum-config-manager --disable fedora updates updates-testing $ yum-config-manager --enable rawhide $ yum update yum $ yum --releasever=rawhide distro-sync --nogpgcheck $ reboot Optionally, you can take a snapshot so you can revert to a known sane state: $ virsh snapshot-create-as rawhide snap1 \ "Clean Rawhide" [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide#Using_Rawhide -- /kashyap
