Owner: Justin Forbes Time Frame: 12th November - 18th November Features: Kernel 6.6 rebase
As discussed at Flock, we will start hosting test days for each major kernel rebase (approximately every 8-10 weeks). It was discussed that we should extend this to a test week, to allow time for more participants. They have been incredibly helpful so far. As the 6.6 kernel is released, I would like to get a test week in before we push the rebase to stable releases. I will have ISOs for USB images so that users can test on bare metal or in VMs, and the kernel will be available in the stabilization repo for users who wish to install it on existing systems.

will we be using F39 as base? @jforbes
Yes, I believe so
wiki : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2023-11-12_Kernel_6.6_Test_Week result : https://testdays.fedoraproject.org/events/172
I will start update the wiki again with F39 base deatils
While the numbers do not look so good, I expect that is more likely because we only had 1 test kernel during the week. With Plumbers going on, Greg and most other maintainers were in conference and not updating the stable tree. We still got some valuable feedback, and pointed out that dracut needed a fix or else 6.6 would cause security regressions for everyone. Thanks for getting this together.
We had 151 tests run across 56 testers.
Let's close the ticket, then :) Looks like the numbers bounced back for the 6.7 event, which is great.
