Announcing the release of Fedora 26 Alpha

[Mohan Boddu]

The Fedora Project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
the Fedora 26 Alpha, an important milestone on the road to our Fedora 26
release in June.

Download the prerelease from our Get Fedora site:

-   Get Fedora 26 Alpha Workstation
-   Get Fedora 26 Alpha Server

Or, check out one of our popular variants:

-   Get Fedora 26 Alpha Spins
-   Get Fedora 26 Alpha Labs
-   Get Fedora 26 Alpha ARM

Alternative Architectures
-------------------------

We are also simultaneously releasing the F26 Alpha for Power64 and
64-bit ARM (AArch64). These are available from:

https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/test/26_...

What is the Alpha release?
--------------------------

The Alpha release contains all the features of Fedora 26's editions in a
form that anyone can help test. This testing, guided by the Fedora QA
team, helps us target and identify bugs. When these bugs are fixed, we
make a Beta release available. A Beta release is code-complete and bears
a very strong resemblance to the third and final release. The final
release of Fedora 26 is expected in June. If you take the time to
download and try out the Alpha, you can check and make sure the things
that are important to YOU are working. Every bug you find and report
doesn't just help you, it improves the experience of millions of Fedora
users worldwide! Together, we can make Fedora rock-solid. We have a
culture of coordinating new features and pushing fixes upstream as much
as we can, and your feedback improves not only Fedora, but Linux and
Free software as a whole.

Issues and Details
------------------

Since this is an alpha release, we expect that you may encounter bugs or
missing features. To report issues encountered during testing, contact
the Fedora QA team via the mailing list or in #fedora-qa on Freenode. As
testing progresses, common issues are tracked on the Common F26 Bugs
page.

-   https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F26_bugs

For tips on reporting a bug effectively, read "how to file a bug
report."

-   https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_file_a_bug_report

Release Schedule
----------------

The full release schedule is available on the Fedora wiki:

-   https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/26/Schedule

The current schedule calls for a beta release in late May, and the
final release in June. Be aware that these dates are development
targets. Some projects release on a set date regardless of feature
completeness or bugs; others wait until certain thresholds for
functionality or testing are met. Fedora uses a hybrid model, with
milestones subject to adjustment. This allows us to make releases with
new features and newly-integrated and updated upstream software while
also retaining high quality.

This link redirects to the Common_F25_bugs page. Can someone please remove the redirect?
And how about copying all the unresolved issues to the Common_F26_bugs page?

Anyway, I see that many common F25 bugs are not fixed. Is there any process to put them
into the Prioritized Bugs list? If those bugs and issues are important enough to link them
from release notes, they are first priority to get fixed. Except for some stuff out of our
control like the GUI applications trying root access on wayland (gparted).

It was just going to a blank page for me, there was no redirect I could
see.

I've created the f26 page... feel free to update it with any unresolved
issues you still see in f26 alpha.

Not that I know of.

Well, second priority really... behind blocker bugs that actually block
the release.

Because I killed the redirect but then got pulled into something else
before I could make the template page. Sorry. :)

It still (or again?) redirects to the F25 common bugs
( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F25_bugs?rd=Common_F26_bugs )
page with a 302-header.

You have "F25" in the URL there?

Try just going to

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F26_bugs directly?

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F26_bugs redirects to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F25_bugs?rd=Common_F26_bugs with
a 302 header (just tried again).

This happens with icecat and firefox (both with enabled plugins and in
safe-mode) and chromium, but not with epiphany. Ialos tried with icecat
on Android and it also redirects.

It's because the wiki's behind a reverse proxy. Always refresh with
shift+ctrl+r.

My android icecat has definitely never been on this site, so there can
not be anything cached.
And how should I refresh a site,that's not loaded ?
If I refresh, I can only refresh the redirected site.
Clearing the cache does not solve he issue.

It's cached on the proxy, not on your end.

https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Common_F26_bugs&redirect=no

is annoying and obscure but should work.

It looks like they use different proxies, the working site has
AppServer: proxy02.fedoraproject.org
in the header, the not working one (e.g.):
AppServer:"proxy11.fedoraproject.org" .

Yes, we have a number of proxies and they have varnish on them that is
doing the caching.

I have just cleared the varnish cache, can you confirm that it's working
as expected now?

Unfortunately not (works only with "?rd=no" as
proposed by Matthew) at
least not on icecat,which still uses proxy11 without success.

ok, try now. Varnish was being difficult.

I'm seeing the same redirect on a clean system that's never gone to
these URLs before.
