Fedora 18 Alpha TC4/RC1 status update

[Adam Williamson]

Hey, folks. Just in case anyone's wondering what's happening about a 
TC4/RC1 build...

I think it'd be best to have a new anaconda build in it, since we have 
several significant anaconda fixes to include. Apparently, any anaconda 
build now effectively relies on yum-3.4.3-32.fc18 or higher, which is 
currently in testing:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-12179

and has a bug bcl thinks may be important:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=850550

so unless any of the above changes or I'm wrong about any of it (please 
correct me if so, anaconda team), we need to have a new yum build with a 
fix for #850500 built, submitted as an update, and given at least some 
positive karma. Then we can get a new anaconda build, and include both 
the new anaconda and the new yum in TC4/RC1.

In the mean time, please keep working on the TC3 validation matrix:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test

even though we know of all sorts of bugs in TC3 that need fixing, it's 
important to keep testing it, because we can still find *more* bugs, and 
we need to find them all. It's possible to work around most of the bad 
bugs in TC3 and do the other test cases. So if everyone can help with 
that, it'd be great. thanks!
