Hi all,
Today's an important day on the Fedora 29 schedule[1], with several significant
cut-offs. First of all today is
the Bodhi activation point [2]. That means that from now all Fedora 29 packages must be
submitted to
updates-testing and pass the relevant requirements[3] before they will be marked as
'stable' and moved to the
fedora repository.
Today is also the Beta freeze[4]. This means that only packages which fix accepted
blocker or freeze exception
bugs[5][6] 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.
So, does this mean that it is now too late to retire packages in
fedora 29 in addition to rawhide?
