Hi, I'll be happy to sponsor you into the proventesters group once you have completed a few requirements. Please take a moment to read through the proventester instructions at:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Proven_tester

Once you have read through the instruction, can you please confirm that you ...:

have read and understand the instructions, and will follow the instructions when testing Fedora critical path updates.

understand how to enable the update-testing repository

are familiar with providing test feedback using either the Bodhi web interface, or the fedora-easy-karma utility

Once you confirm these three from the list above, then I will be happy to sponsor your membership in the proventester group. I note that you have already applied for membership of that group in FAS.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Hi mcloaked
Thanks for taking me as a your "Padawan"
I have read and understand the wiki. I just would like to try to use fedora-easy-karma fore something, just to see if I can understand it.

Could you please provide me with something I can try to test from fedora-easy-karma?

Best Regards
Dennis Appelon Nielsen

Firstly make sure that you have fedora-easy-karma installed - then execute it - it will then go through the various test packages that need karma and you can choose to select them one by one for adding karma or ignoring it - clearly the packages will change day by day depending on which need testing, and also will be a different set depending if you have f14, f15 or f16 installed - so for your machine running one of these, try it out - you can run it and ignore adding karma but see if any of the packages are ones that you use - and if so install it and see if it breaks anything or if it works without regression. You can also see packages in bodhi and see other testers' comments - any packages there which have no comments which you use you can then test and add karma depending on what you see when you test it.

I presume that you know how to access bodhi after reading the wiki? Please confirm, and also let me know if you are happy trying out fedora-easy-karma from my description above.

Hi Mike
Thanks for you replay... sorry for my delayed answer. I installed fedora-easy-karma on my test system, and I executed it, and started to get packet's for testing listed I went though them all, most of them was GUI stuff, and the kernel problem I filed a bug rapport yesterday on have not been solved yet, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748359
So I cant really test them without X.

I do understand the fedora-easy-karma application now, and I understand how it updates the bodhi site. I have also installed the bodhi-client and are trying to find something I can use it with. Should I not be able to do a status for the bug 748359 with it somehow ? could you give me an example for bodhi maybe?

Best regards

Hey I did my first +1 karma. it is easy way to "vote" I really like it...
Hop to hear from you soon ;-)

OK - the easy way to use Bodhi to add karma is to go to the web page at:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/

You can log in with your FAS account and then add karma directly on the web page when you add a comment to one of the test packages there. This is different to using the bodhi-client or bodhi-server package as an installed package in your Fedora system.

If you can confirm that you are happy using that by replying with one more comment here, and clearly you already are using the bugzilla web site for Fedora also to file reports, then I will sponsor you into the proventester group.

Hi Mike
I now understand that bodhi web, and client can be used to add karma, as well as fedora-easy-karma, but also do some more stuff, that fedora-easy-karma can't do. I know how to use bugzilla, after all I'am a buzapper :-).

So I would say I know all the tools, and also how to used them all.
Hop you will sponsor me in to the proventester's group...?

Thanks for taking me on

Best regards
