</div>I should be honest and correct that I didn't fix anything myself, execpt<br>
co-ordinating with Fedora package maintainers on a sudo issue and a<br>
couple of other related things clarkb pointed out :-)<br>

</div>Thanks for co-ordinating this, Ian, Fedora on Gate would be quite<br>
useful.<br>
<br>
I generally do most of my testing on Fedora 20 and Rawhide (when<br>
possible) trying to stay close to upstream, so count me in for assisting<br>
in debugging any issues while testing.<br>
<br>
I just read the IRC conversation and read this<br>
<br>
"clarkb> because no one has up to date fedora images for us"<br>
<br>
Two sources of reliable Fedora images I can think of:<br>
<br>
- Fedora project already provides[1] updated (i.e., the below qcow2 image<br>
already has the fixes for the OpenSSL 'heartbleed' issue) Fedora<br>
images designed to work in OpenStack environments -- the kickstart<br>
file[2] used to generate the Fedora image describes it.<br>
<br>
- Alternatively, the virt-builder project[3] also currently provides<br>
cryptographically signed templates of minimal Fedora images[4].<br>
How the images are generated is described here[5].<br>
