[Test-Announce] Fedora 23 Beta Freeze
Hi all,
Tuesday was an important day on the Fedora 23 schedule[1], with two
significant cut-offs.
Tuesday was 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, Tuesday was the '100% code complete deadline' Change
Checkpoint[8],
meaning that Fedora 23 Changes must now be ' New accepted changes must
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
