Announcing the release of Fedora 26 Beta

by Mohan Boddu

The Fedora Project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Fedora 26 Beta, the next big step on our journey to the exciting Fedora 26 release in July. Download the prerelease from our Get Fedora site: * Get Fedora 26 Beta Workstation https://getfedora.org/workstation/prerelease/ * Get Fedora 26 Beta Server https://getfedora.org/server/prerelease/ * Get Fedora 26 Pre-Release Atomic https://getfedora.org/atomic/prerelease/ Looking for Fedora Cloud Base? This is replaced by Atomic as a Fedora Edition for the container use case, but we still produce it for those of you who want to build up your own cloud-computing environment in a more traditional way from https://cloud.fedoraproject.org/. Or, check out one of our popular variants, including KDE Plasma, Xfce, and other desktop environments, as well as images for ARM devices like the Raspberry Pi 2 and 3: * Get Fedora 26 Beta Spins https://spins.fedoraproject.org/prerelease * Get Fedora 26 Beta Labs https://labs.fedoraproject.org/prerelease * Get Fedora 26 Beta ARM https://arm.fedoraproject.org/prerelease Fedora’s journey is not simply about updating one operating system with the latest and greatest packages. It’s also about innovation for the many different platforms represented in the Fedora Project: Workstation, Server, Atomic, and the various Spins. Coordinating the efforts across the many working groups is no small task, and serves as a testament to the talent and professionalism found within the Fedora community. As we move into this Beta phase of the Fedora 26 release cycle, what can users expect? Fedora-Wide Changes =================== Fedora, always in the path of innovation, will ship with the latest version of the GNU Compiler Collection, also known as GCC, bringing the latest language features and optimizations to users and to the software we build. Also the Go Language is updated to the latest version, 1.8, which includes 32-bits MIPS support and speed improvements. One of the most important changes is the addition of "blivet-gui" to the installer. This provides a "building-blocks" style partitioning GUI for sysadmins and enthusiast users who are familiar with the details of storage systems. Also, we've made and included many improvements in security, improving user experience and reducing the risks of the digital life. Fedora Editions =============== The Workstation edition of Fedora 26 Beta features GNOME 3.24, which includes important changes like Night Light, which changes the color temperature of the display based on time of day. It will also include the latest update of LibreOffice. Our Atomic Host Edition also has a lot of improvements, including more options to run containers, the latest version of the docker container platform, the cockpit manager and the atomic CLI, improving the way containers are managed, making being a sysadmin easier. Spins and Labs ============== The Fedora Project is proud to announce two new versions: The LXQt Spin, a lightweight desktop supporting the latest version of the Qt libraries; and the Python Classroom Lab, a new version focused in the teaching and learning of the Python programming language. And, in the Cinnamon Spin, the desktop is updated to the latest version. Alternative Architectures ========================= We are also simultaneously releasing 64-bit F26 Beta for ARM (AArch64), Power (both little and big endian) and s390x architectures. You'll also find minimal network installers and the Fedora 26 Beta Cloud Base image here: * Get Beta Alternative Architectures and Other Downloads. https://alt.fedoraproject.org/prerelease/ What is the Beta Release? ========================= A Beta release is code-complete and bears a very strong resemblance to the third and final release. The final release of Fedora 26 is expected in July. If you take the time to download and try out the Beta, you can check and make sure the things that are important to you are working. Every bug you find and report doesn’t just help you, it improves the experience of millions of Fedora users worldwide! Together, we can make Fedora rock-solid. We have a culture of coordinating new features and pushing fixes upstream as much as we can, and your feedback improves not only Fedora, but Linux and Free software as a whole. Issues and Details ================== Since this is a Beta release, we expect that you may encounter bugs or missing features. To report issues encountered during testing, contact the Fedora QA team via the mailing list or in #fedora-qa on Freenode. As testing progresses, common issues are tracked on the Common F26 Bugs page. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F26_bugs For tips on reporting a bug effectively, read how to file a bug report: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_file_a_bug_report More information ================ For more detailed information about what's new on Fedora 26 Beta Release, you can consult our Talking Points and the F26 Change Set. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_26_talking_points * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/26/ChangeSet They contain more technical information about the new packages and improvements shipped with this release.

Proposal to CANCEL: 2017-06-12 Fedora QA Meeting

by Adam Williamson

Hi folks! I'm proposing we cancel the QA meeting on Monday. We did a pretty good job of checking in this week, and I don't think there's anything pressing that needs a meeting this week. The status of Beta is a bit of a mess with the remaining libdb issues, but that needs to be discussed at a different level than the QA team. If anyone does want to have a meeting and is willing to run it, please just go ahead and say so (and send out an agenda). Mike will be sending out a blocker review meeting announcement for Tuesday, I believe. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

2017-06-05 @ 1600 UTC ** F26 Blocker Review Meeting

by Mike Ruckman

# F26 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2017-06-05 # Time: 16:00 UTC # Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net It's that time of the week again - Blocker Review time! Last week we were still blocked on the libdb bug (please test! Adam sent an email with information on it). Currently, that's the only blocker we're tracking for Beta. However, we have 7 proposed blockers for Final that we should take a look at. If you have time between now and the meeting Tuesday, please take a look through the list. It canbe found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F26 can be found on the wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting Have a good rest of the weekend and see you on Monday!

Please note that F26 schedule does not affect F27 change deadlines

by Matthew Miller

I just wanted to call out in particular this bit from Jan's note: > This slip of the F26 release does not have any impact on F27 schedule [3]. > [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/27/Schedule This means that system-wide changes for Fedora 27 should be submitted to FESCo *before* the Fedora 26 final release. Changes which require a mass rebuild should be in _this_ month. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

Fedora 26 Beta status is NO-GO

by Jan Kurik

Release status of the Fedora 26 Beta is NO-GO. After 23 hours long Go/No-Go meeting for F26 Beta 1.4 compose [1] we have decided to slip the whole F26 release for one week [2]. The main concern for not releasing this compose [1] as GOLD is unclear resolution of bug #1397087, which is still causing some issues during testing. There is going to be one more Go/No-Go meeting the next Thursday, June 8th, 2017 to verify we are ready for the release. This slip of the F26 release does not have any impact on F27 schedule [3]. For more information please find the logs or minutes from the meeting [4][5].
