Fedora 45 has several system-level changes that need testing on real hardware. The first test day up is GNOME 51, starting on 17 August, with more events planned for RPM 6.1, installation media and others. You can participate with a VM for most tests; some hardware-specific testing is more useful on a real machine.

Details are contained in this article.

Fedora 45 is bringing several changes that deserve testing beyond CI and automated test suites. Here are some of the bigger ones:

RPM 6.1: update to 6.1, enforced signature checking, and DNF repo configs relocating to /usr.

OpenSSL 4.0 — a major version bump that could affect anything doing TLS.
