🔗 Final Objectives
The objective of the Final release is to:
- Provide a polished final release suitable for meeting the needs of our Target Audience
🔗 Final Release Requirements
In order to be released to the general public, a compose must meet all of the following criteria. This is intended to make the decision process as clear and straightforward as possible. Mostly met items are incomplete until they are met. Optional and nice to have items should not be included in this list.
There may be times where a requirement is unmet only in a particular configuration, such as with some keyboard layouts but not others, or if a particular character is used in a username, password or passphrase. In such cases, the release team should use their judgement and refer to precedent to determine whether or not the issue should be considered to block the release. They should consider the number of users likely to be affected by the issue, the severity of the case when the issue is encountered, and the ease or otherwise with which the issue can be avoided by both informed and uninformed users.
The term release-blocking desktops means all the desktop environments in which bugs are currently considered capable of blocking a Fedora release. The current set of release-blocking desktops for x86_64 is GNOME and KDE, and for aarch64 is GNOME. Note that bugs in desktops that are not part of this set which would infringe these criteria automatically qualify for freeze exception status, according to the freeze exception bug process.
The term release-blocking images means all the images in which bugs are currently considered capable of blocking a Fedora release. The current set of release-blocking images includes the images defined by the three Editions - Server, Workstation and IoT - in their product requirement documents and/or technical specifications, the Everything network install image, key Cloud images, and the KDE live image. The canonical list of release-blocking images for Fedora 42 is on this page.
🔗 Process requirements
🔗 Beta criteria met
All Fedora 20 Beta Release Criteria must be met.
🔗 Final blockers CLOSED
All bugs blocking the Final tracker must be CLOSED.
🔗 Installer requirements
🔗 Media consistency verification
Validation of install media must work correctly for all release-blocking images.
🔗 Live image persistent overlays
The release-blocking live images must properly support mounting and using a persistent storage overlay for the entire system and/or one for the /home partition.
🔗 Package and installer sources
The installer must be able to use all supported local and remote package and installer sources.
🔗 Network attached storage
The installer must be able to detect (if possible) and install to supported network-attached storage devices.
🔗 Installation interfaces
The installer must be able to complete an installation using all supported interfaces.
🔗 Disk layouts
The installer must be able to create and install to any workable partition layout using any file system and/or container format combination offered in a default installer configuration.
🔗 Bootloader disk selection
The installer must allow the user to choose which disk the system bootloader will be installed to, and to choose not to install one at all.
🔗 Storage volume resize
Any installer mechanism for resizing storage volumes must correctly attempt the requested operation.
🔗 Windows dual boot
The installer must be able to install into free space alongside an existing clean Windows installation and, when performing a BIOS (not UEFI) installation, install a bootloader which can boot into both Windows and Fedora.
🔗 Update image
The installer must be able to use an installer update image retrieved from removable media or a remote package source.
🔗 Installer translations
The installer must correctly display all sufficiently complete translations available for use.
🔗 Virtualization requirements
🔗 Xen DomU
The release must boot successfully as Xen DomU with releases providing a functional, supported Xen Dom0 and widely used cloud providers utilizing Xen.
🔗 Post-install requirements
🔗 System services
All system services present after installation with one of the release-blocking package sets must start properly, unless they require hardware which is not present.
🔗 Critical path translations
All critical path actions on release-blocking desktops must correctly display all sufficiently complete translations available for use.
🔗 SELinux and crash notifications
There must be no SELinux denial notifications or crash notifications on boot of or during installation from a release-blocking live image, or at first login after a default install of a release-blocking desktop.
🔗 Data corruption
All known bugs that can cause corruption of user data must be fixed or documented at Common F20 bugs.
🔗 Default application functionality
All applications that can be launched using the standard graphical mechanism of a release-blocking desktop after a default installation of that desktop must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test.
🔗 Default panel functionality
All elements of the default panel (or equivalent) configuration in all release-blocking desktops must function correctly in typical use.
🔗 Desktop keyring
Saving passwords to and retrieving passwords from the default keyring must work for all release-blocking desktops.
🔗 Artwork
The proposed final Fedora artwork must be included and used as the background on release-blocking desktops. All Fedora artwork visible in critical path actions on release-blocking desktops must be consistent with the proposed final theme.
🔗 Pre-release notices
No notices or alerts about pre-release status may be shown as part of installation or critical path actions on release-blocking desktops.
🔗 Security bugs
The release must contain no known security bugs of 'important' or higher impact according to the Red Hat severity classification scale which cannot be satisfactorily resolved by a package update (e.g. issues during installation).
🔗 Kickstarts
A spin-kickstarts
package which contains the exact kickstart files used to build the release must be present in the release repository. The included kickstarts must define the correct set of release repositories.
🔗 Release notes
The final branded release notes must be present on release-blocking images and the appropriately versioned generic release notes must be available in the release repository.
🔗 Release identification
A fedora-release
package containing the correct names, information and repository configuration for a final Fedora release must be present on release-blocking images and the appropriately versioned generic-release
package must be available in the release repository.
🔗 Final Blocker Bugs
A bug is considered a Final blocker bug if any of the following criteria are met:
- A bug in a Critical Path package that:
- Cannot be fixed with a future stable update
- Has a severity rating of high or greater and no reasonable workaround (see definition of severity and priority)
- Bug hinders execution of required Final test plans or dramatically reduces test coverage
- Bug relates to an unmet Final Release Requirement
A Fedora Change being incomplete, in and of itself, does not constitute a blocker bug. The Change process is separate from this process. Changes are required to meet certain standards at certain points of the release cycle, but this is part of the Change process and managed, tracked and enforced separately from this process. However, if a proposed feature being incomplete causes any of the above criteria to be met, then the bug is a release blocker.
🔗 Contingency Plan
- If all of the Final Release Requirements are not met by 20:00 UTC on Tuesday the week prior to release day, the release will be delayed by one week so that the Final Release Requirements can be met.
- One week will be added to all remaining tasks in the release schedule, including the final release date.
- This decision will be made at the Go/No-Go Meeting.
🔗 Confirming Final Requirements
QA has the responsibility of determining whether the criteria for the release has been met (as outlined above) through discussion with Development and Release Engineering. QA's findings will be reviewed and discussed at the Go/No-Go Meeting.
