Fedora 29 Beta status: RC4 incoming

[Adam Williamson]

Hi, folks! Just a quick mail to let everyone know where we are with F29
Beta.

We managed to throw together fixes for all the currently-accepted
blockers (thanks to the dnf team for help there), so an RC4 (aka Beta-
1.4) is currently composing. Compared to RC3 it contains a newer libdnf
with a fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1629340 . It
also includes a newer gnome-shell with fixes for FE bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1628263 and also
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/140 (which kinda
snuck in there), new builds of dnfdragora and dnfdaemon that fix two
significant bugs for users of those -
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1624652 and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1629378 - and an updatedgnome-documents which actually works (that was 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1628244 ).

The second Go/No-Go meeting will be on Thursday, so it would be awesome
if folks could pitch in and help get as much testing done as possible
on Beta-1.4 when it arrives. There will be an announcement mail sent to
test-announce@, so look out for that. It will have links to the
validation pages, which have the download links at the top. General
exploratory testing would also be great to find any significant issues
not specifically covered in the validation tests. It should arrive in
around 8-9 hours, assuming the compose takes about as long as the
previous one. Some of the media will actually be available from Koji a
little sooner than that, for anyone who wants to get a head start on
testing; to find the live images, for instance, go to this URL:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/tasks?state=closed&view=flat&met...

and look for tasks with the string 'Fedora-29-20180919.0' in them (*not*
'Fedora-29-20180919.n.0', those would be nightlies, which don't have
the extra fixed packages).

Thanks a lot, everyone!
