Testing the Release Notes

[Valentin Laskov]

John,
Thank you for the explanation!
My opinion is that publishing in the web is more important and if it's not 
in conflict with The Fedora Project politics, I will be glad to see 
bulgarian Release Notes published now, even in a draft. I would like to say 
to the bulgarian linux fans "Take a look what will be F17!"

Best regards!
Valentin

Subject: Testing the Release Notes


|I guess I should post the step-by-step gory details for testing the
| release notes.  This looks pretty awful but really only takes a few
| minutes.
|
| First, go to
| https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/fedora-release-notes-17.0.0-1.fc17
|
| As new translations become available, the 17.0.0 will become 17.0.1,
| 17.0.2, etc.  The last of those three numbers represents the content
| of the RPM which usually changes only because of new translations.  If
| the original changes (new strings), the second number will increment.
|
| On that page, click on "fedora-release-notes-17.0.0-1.fc17" after
| "Builds:".
|
| Click on "download" in:
| noarch (build logs)
| fedora-release-notes-17.0.0-1.fc17.noarch.rpm (info) (download)
|
| Open with "Software Install".  You will need to provide a password to
| install an unsigned package.  (It doesn't get signed until it gets
| karma).
|
| You should now have a Release Notes menu choice under "Accessories" in
| your logged in language.  Clicking on it should take you to the
| release notes in your logged in language.  You can see other languages
| by logging out and selecting a different language at the bottom of the
| screen while logging back in.  the current RPM contains Bulgarian,
| English and Ukrainian.  Any other language selection will result in
| English.
|
| If all is well, go to the original link, log in, and at the bottom of
| the screen, click "Add a comment".  Select "Works for me" and make any
| notes you like.  Click the "Add Comment" button.
|
| When you are done, you can revert your system back to the original
| release notes by going to a command line as root and typing
|
|  yum downgrade fedora-release-notes
|
| Once three people have done this, the translated release notes will be
| staged for the release repository.
