Hey folks,
A few moons ago, I volunteered to write a Beta Release Criteria. The idea is to set a "criteria" to have Beta images with Updates Testing enabled by default. Note, we *do* this and have been doing this for some time and nothing has broken badly due to keeping UT repos enabled. This IMO will encourage our community to try to test more Beta images and package sets which will be served to them when they upgrade to Beta or install beta from various installation sources.
Proposed Beta Criteria:
Release identification A fedora-release package containing the correct names and information and a fedora-repos package containing the correct repository configuration for a Beta Fedora release must be present on release-blocking images and the appropriately versioned generic-release package must be available in the release repository.
I guess spot has been keeping generic-release going, but I don't think anyone from releng has been updating it. I guess it's not been a problem tho...
updates-testing enabled One specific expectation is that the updates-testing repository and any corresponding repositories (e.g. updates-testing-modular) must be enabled for upgrades to beta and fresh installs.
*modular* should be gone completely now, so drop mention of it?
Please let me know your thoughts.
Seems fine. Thanks for writing this up.
