Hi all,
Today is an important day on the Fedora 24 schedule[1], with two significant
cut-offs.
Today is the Beta freeze[2]. This means that only packages which fix accepted
blocker or freeze exception bugs[3][4] will be marked as 'stable' and included
in the Beta composes. Other builds will remain in updates-testing until the
Beta release is approved, at which point the Beta freeze is lifted and
packages can move to 'stable' as usual until the Final freeze.
Finally, Today is the '100% code complete deadline' Change Checkpoint[8],
meaning that Fedora 23 Changes must now be code complete, meaning all the code
required to enable to the new change is finished. The level of code
completeness is reflected as tracker bug state ON_QA. The change does not have
to be fully tested by this deadline'.
Regards
Dennis
