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.
There are two upcoming test periods in the next week covering two topics:
- Sunday 28 July through Sunday 04 August, is to test Kernel 6.10.
- Monday 29 July through Wed 31 July , is to test Podman 5.2
Come and test with us to make Fedora 41 even better. Read more below on how to do it.
Kernel 6.10 Test Week
The kernel team is working on final integration for Linux kernel 6.10. This recently released kernel version will be the release Kernel for Fedora 41. As a result, the Fedora Linux kernel and QA teams have organized a test week from Sunday, July 28, 2024 to Sunday, August 04, 2024.
The wiki page contains links to the test images you’ll need to participate. The results can be submitted in the test day app.
Podman 5.2 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.
During these test days, on Monday 29 July through Wed 31 July, the focus will be on testing the changes that will be coming in Fedora 41 (Rawhide) as we move ahead with Podman 5.2. This is an opportunity for anyone to learn and interact with the Podman Community and container tools in general.
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. 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 pages 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.

There’s an error in the kernel section heading. Presumably it should be 6.10 and not 6.9.

Fixed, thanks. 🙂

Will the Rawhide ISOs dated 28 july be the ones with kernel 6.10 or do we fetch the test ISOs elsewhere?

The latest 6.10 kernel available in koji right now is 6.10.0 that has a known issue mounting ext4 partitions. Unless you are not using ext4 partitions, I would recommend to wait until 6.10.1 or newer is available.
