            Bug ID: 1069985
           Summary: Release notes should contain changes to kickstart
                    options
           Product: Fedora Documentation
           Version: devel
         Component: release-notes

Description of problem:

Release notes for Fedora 20 contains nothing about the changes to kickstart
options.

It would be helpful if changes to kickstart options will be noticed in future
release notes too. Now I know that I have to check the wiki diffs of the
Anaconda/Kickstart wiki page to see the changes, but other administrators may
check only the release notes.

An example is the "--addsupport=" option to the "lang" kickstart
option which
was added to Fedora 20 (I assume... - I have no information about the time of
the change), together with "%packages ... -instLangs=..." still not
implemented.

Please see also at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1051816#c11


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 20 release notes.

How reproducible:
Always.


Another note:
This request is to improve the next release notes.

But I want to note that there should a place (web page, wiki page, etc.) too
where additional (late) informations can be added to release notes of already
released Fedora versions. Is such a place available?

So, the F21 Release Notes contain section 3.2.5. Changes in Kickstart Syntax,
with a subsection for new commands/options and one for changes in existing
command/option behavior.

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/21/html/Release_Notes/sect-Rel...

I'll make sure to include a similar section in all subsequent Release Notes for
future Fedora releases.

Thanks, thats fine!

An addition:

The current version of the release notes (found at your link, 21-01 of Fri 29
August 2014) does not contain the changes introduced in bug #1146156 .

I am still hoping that there will be options with the previous behaviour with
logvol --percent in the near future, but if people use there kickstart
configurations that had worked with previous releases they will run into the
same problem as I. So I think this change should be noted too.
