Contribute at the Podman 5.3 Test Days
Fedora test days are events where anyone can help make certain that changes in Fedora work well in an upcoming release. Fedora community members often participate, and the public is welcome at these events. If you’ve never contributed to Fedora before, this is a perfect way to get started.
During these test days, from Friday 01 November through Friday 08 November, the focus will be on testing the changes that will be coming in Fedora 41 as we move ahead with Podman 5.3. This is an opportunity for anyone to learn and interact with the Podman Community and container tools in general.
Podman 5.3 Test Days
Podman is a daemon-less, open source, Linux native tool designed to make it easy to find, run, build, share and deploy applications using Open Containers Initiative (OCI) Containers and Container Images. It provides a command line interface (CLI) familiar to anyone who has used the Docker Container Engine. As part of a recent discussion, the Rawhide Test Day efforts, and Podman Container Engine Team’s collaborative efforts, we will hold test days for this minor Podman Release.
The wiki page helps the testers know and understand the scope of the test days. The Test day app helps the testers submit the results once they have tried the test cases.
How do test days work?
A test day/week is an event where anyone can help make sure changes in Fedora Linux work well in an upcoming release of specific software. Fedora community members often participate, and the public is welcome at these events. If you’ve never contributed before, this is a perfect way to get started.
To contribute, you only need to be able to download test materials (which include some large files) and then read and follow directions step by step.
Detailed information about all the test days is available on the wiki page mentioned above. If you’re available on or around the days of the events, please do some testing and report your results. All the test day pages receive some final touches which complete about 24 hrs before the test day begins. We urge you to be patient about resources that are, in most cases, uploaded hours before the test day starts.
Come and test with us to make Fedora Linux even better!
