QA:Testcase Torrents

Description

One of the last steps of release is generating torrents for users. Torrents should be checked for validity before released to the public.

  • ⬇️ - Low priority. It would be good to have this tested, but if it isn't or if it fails then it is inconsequential.
  • ❗ - Important. It is best to have this tested, but if it isn't or if it fails then it won't block the release.

Releases, Architectures, and ISO's

Distro aarch64 ppc64le riscv64 s390x x86_64
Rocky Linux 9 ❗ ⬇️ N/A ⬇️ ❗
Rocky Linux 10 ❗ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ❗

Setup

  1. Download the torrent files. Information will be released in the Mattermost Release Channel.

How to test

  1. Download the torrents and content.
  2. Verify Checksums; sha256sum -c *.CHECKSUM --ignore-missing
  3. Verify GPG key signature.
# If you do not have the GPG keys already, please download the keys for each release from:-
# https://rockylinux.org/resources/gpg-key-info
#
# Import those keys
gpg --import RPM-GPG-KEY-Rocky-9
gpg --import RPM-GPG-KEY-Rocky-10
#
# Alternatively, if you are on a Rocky system you can get the system key from:-
sudo dnf install rocky-gpg-keys
gpg --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-Rocky-*
#
# Test that the GPG key matches that website
gpg --list-keys
#
# Now test
gpg --verify-file CHECKSUM.asc
#
# Output you are looking for is one of the following with keys that match the website above:-
gpg: Good signature from "Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation - Release key 2022 <releng@rockylinux.org>"
gpg: Good signature from "Release Engineering (Rocky Linux 10) <releng@rockylinux.org>"
#
# The following WARNING can be ignored for this test:-
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!

Expected Results

  1. All files should download.
  2. ISO's should match Checksums.
  3. Checksums should be signed with GPG key.
