Revisiting Server installation media naming convention
See: https://pagure.io/fedora-server/issue/126
We want to pursue this topic for F41, so we should start now.
There is a new initiative from GLB in the Fedora Server Matrix Channel.
• Server WG: The websites and apps team is thinking about
adding/promoting links to the "Everything" network installer on fp.o. I'm
wondering if we should consider renaming "network installer" to "online
installer" because I've seen people confused about what is meant by
"network". I've encountered people who think it is for PXE booting. I guess,
to be consistent, such a rename would also translate the "Server network
installer" to the "Server online installer". Otherwise, I don't think
any other groups would be affected.

Would the Server WG be OK with such a rename? Or do you have other ideas? (Leaving it be
as it is is also fine. I'm just trying to help with a point of confusion.) 🙂
So, an idea is to use something like:
Fedora-Server-40-offline-x.y.-<arch>.iso long name: Fedora Server Edition release
40 local fully offline installation
Fedora-Server-40-online-x.y.-<arch>.iso long name: Fedora Server Edition release
40 local online installation
We had a releng ticket once ago:
https://pagure.io/releng/issue/11089
It’s resolved regarding the Checksum file naming for F40 (didn’t test it yet).
So we should aim to modify the name and get rid of DVD and unify the naming structure:
Fedora-Server-<rel>-<method>-<x.y>-arch.<filetyp>
40 offline x64_86 iso
online arch qcow2
kvm raw.xz
Image checksum
