[Test-Announce] Fedora 27 Bodhi Activation Point

[Mohan Boddu]

Hi all,

Today’s an important day on the Fedora 27 schedule[1], with several
significant cut-offs. First of all today is the Bodhi activation point [2].
That means that from now all Fedora 27 packages must be submitted to
updates-testing and pass the relevant requirements[3] before they will be
marked as ‘stable’ and moved to the fedora repository.

Today is also the Software String freeze[4], which means that strings
marked for translation in Fedora-translated projects should not now be
changed for Fedora 27.

Finally, today is the ‘completion deadline’ Change Checkpoint[5], meaning
that Fedora 27 Changes must now be ‘feature complete or close enough to
completion that a majority of its functionality can be tested’.

Regards
Mohan Boddu.
