Fedora 18 for Power Release Announcement

The Fedora for Power team is mooved to roll Fedora 18 for ppc64 out of the barn and onto a mirror near you.

New Features

  • Fedora 18 is the first release of Fedora for Power to contain packages optimized for POWER7 processors. These optimized packages (indicated by the ppc64p7 architecture) will be automatically installed on systems which support them.
  • Anaconda, the Fedora installation program, has been extensively redesigned since Fedora 17. Documentation is available in the Installation Guide and is generally applicable to Fedora for Power.

Known Issues

  • When using the new Fedora Upgrader tool, fedup, please ensure that your system has all f17 updates applied. The upgrade process will hang when it attempts to pivot into the upgrade image otherwise.
  • fedup has not been tested in multipath configurations but we believe it should work properly.
