Fedora 45 is in final freeze
by Samyak Jain 06 Oct '26

06 Oct '26

Hi all, Today, 2026-10-06, is an important day on the Fedora Linux 45 schedule [1], with significant cut-offs. Today we have the Final Freeze [2], which starts at 14:00 UTC. This means that only packages which fix accepted blocker or freeze exception bugs [3][4][5] will be marked as 'stable' and included in the Final composes. Other builds will remain in updates-testing until the Final release is approved, at which point the Final freeze is lifted, and packages can move to the 'updates' repository. Pending updates will be pushed before final release as zero-day updates. Regards, Samyak Jain Fedora Release Engineering [1] https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-45/f-45-key-tasks.html [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Milestone_freezes [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process [4] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process [5] https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/f45/final/buglist

2026-10-05 @ 16:00 UTC - Fedora 45 Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson 04 Oct '26

04 Oct '26

# F45 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2026-10-05 # Time: 16:00 UTC # Location: https://matrix.to/#/#blocker-review:fedoraproject.org?web-instance[element.… Hi folks! It's time for a Fedora 45 blocker (and FE) review meeting! We have 2 proposed blockers and 2 proposed freeze exceptions for Final. Here is a handy link which should show you the meeting time in your local time: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Fedora+45+Blocker… The meeting will be on Matrix. Click the link above to join in a web client - you can authenticate with your FAS account - or use a dedicated client of your choosing. If you have time today, you can take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ . Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you'll see links labeled "Vote!" next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions. Those links take you to tickets where you can vote. https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review has instructions on how exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs where there wasn't a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. **THIS MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!** 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 F45 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 day and see you tomorrow!
