Description Mark Hatle 2013-10-31 16:49:36 UTC 
Many packages have pre/post install/remove scripts.  These scripts are not regularly being tested in an on-target upgrade environment.

A test should be created uses the appropriate package feed mechanism, and on-target package manager to update from one build to the next.

Further the milestone testing should include a test that installs the previous milestone, and then attempts to update to the next milestone.

The final -RC- testing should also validate that updates from the previous Yocto Project version to the new one work, and produce a valid system.

We should be testing the intermediate Milestones RCs are able to update from the prior release, not just the final RC.
