Hey, folks. Some release criteria stuff!
I've created the F16 criteria pages, copied across from F15. I added some criteria we agreed on back in October 2010 to the Final page; somehow we managed not to add these onto the F15 page, but they're in there now. Those are:
* The final release notes (in both branded and generic form) from the Documentation team must be present in the release repository in packaged form * 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 * A fedora-release package and a generic-release package appropriately versioned and containing the correct names, information and repository configuration for a final Fedora release (as opposed to a pre-release) must be present in the release repository
I also added the recently-agreed logger criterion to the Alpha page:
* A system logging infrastructure must be available and enabled by default. It must provide at least basic local file-based logging of kernel messages, and allow other components to write log messages. This must be done in accordance with relevant standards accepted by the Project
Finally, I have a new proposal for the issue of 'supported' desktops, which is blocking another planned criterion that we've been meaning to add for a while. I'm now proposing the term 'release-blocking desktops': it's simple, it does what it says on the tin, and it doesn't imply any value judgments about the desktops in question. How does that sound?
So all current reference to 'desktop' or 'the desktop' would be replaced by 'release-blocking desktops', and the proposed image size criterion would read:
* The network installation image, DVD image, and live images for release-blocking desktops must meet current size requirements
Feedback please! :) For reference, the new F16 pages are:
