Hi, folks! Just a quick mail to let everyone know where we are with F29 Beta.
We managed to throw together fixes for all the currently-accepted blockers (thanks to the dnf team for help there), so an RC4 (aka Beta- 1.4) is currently composing. Compared to RC3 it contains a newer libdnf with a fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1629340 . It also includes a newer gnome-shell with fixes for FE bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1628263 and also https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/140 (which kinda snuck in there), new builds of dnfdragora and dnfdaemon that fix two significant bugs for users of those - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1624652 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1629378 - and an updatedgnome-documents which actually works (that was https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1628244 ).
The second Go/No-Go meeting will be on Thursday, so it would be awesome if folks could pitch in and help get as much testing done as possible on Beta-1.4 when it arrives. There will be an announcement mail sent to test-announce@, so look out for that. It will have links to the validation pages, which have the download links at the top. General exploratory testing would also be great to find any significant issues not specifically covered in the validation tests. It should arrive in around 8-9 hours, assuming the compose takes about as long as the previous one. Some of the media will actually be available from Koji a little sooner than that, for anyone who wants to get a head start on testing; to find the live images, for instance, go to this URL:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/tasks?state=closed&view=flat&met...
and look for tasks with the string 'Fedora-29-20180919.0' in them (*not* 'Fedora-29-20180919.n.0', those would be nightlies, which don't have the extra fixed packages).
Thanks a lot, everyone!
