Note, we already do automated a-lot-more-than-nightly testing of ISOs on VMs that only support BIOS booting (qemu without UEFI). This won't help with the specific case of real-world systems whose firmware can't handle GPT-labeled disks, or similar things, but we will at least notice very quickly if BIOS boot just breaks entirely. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA IRC: adamw | Twitter: adamw_ha https://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
