 It's new release time again! QA requests a Fedora Alpha TC1 compose, as
 per the [QA:SOP_compose_request compose request SOP] and the
 [http://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-21/f-21-quality-tasks.html
 schedule]. [[BR]]

 As this is the very first Fedora.next compose, I shall list what to my
 understanding are the expected deliverables:[[BR]]

  *
 [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Server/Product_Requirements_Document#Delivery_Mechanisms
 Server]: network install and offline install (DVD-type) images for
 [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Server/Technical_Specification#Supported_Architectures_and_Install_Media
 i686, x86_64, and armv7hl]
  *
 [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Technical_Specification#Installation_methods_and_media
 Workstation]: Live image, architectures uncertain (my best guess is i686,
 x86_64, armv7hl considered not release-blocking material)
  * [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud/Cloud_PRD#Delivery_Mechanisms
 Cloud]: qcow2 and raw.xz images for i686 and x86_64, possibly an AMI
  * [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM ARM]: Standard set of
 ARM disk images? I believe ARM team still wants these built for F21, not
 sure if / how many of them we build at this particular stage
  * [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Spins Spins]: KDE spin for i686, x86_64
 (considered release-blocking), other standard desktop spins for i686 and
 x86_64 (not considered release-blocking) - Xfce, LXDE, MATE, SoaS. Not
 sure if ARM lives are planned/viable
  * Install trees for Server and Workstation (obviously the Server network
 install image should be set up to install from the Server install tree,
 but...I'll bet sixpence it ain't, if it exists)
  * Not sure about fedup kernel/initramfs?

 That's the lot to my understanding in any case. Server kickstarts may not
 yet be viable.

 I believe we do not have any packages to pull in via the side repo at this
 time.
