Changes in F24 schedule - two weeks slip
Hi Fedora people,
let me inform you about changes in Fedora 24 schedule.
There is a will to accommodate GCC6 compiler in F24 and use it to
compile all the binaries delivered in this release [1]. To make this
happen we need to do mass rebuild which was not originally scheduled
for this release. On FESCo meeting the last Friday has been decided to
go on with GCC6 and do the mass rebuild. This causes slip of F24
schedule for 2 weeks. Please check the updated schedule at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/24/Schedule#Key_Milestones .
Dates for the most important milestones follows:
2016-03-15 Alpha Release
2016-04-26 Beta Release
2016-05-31 Fedora 24 Final Release (GA)
Regards,
Jan
