I really don't undertand why "not installing the release notes" is such a big change we need to wait for the next cycle to implement. It's really just a one line change. And if we want to install them but not provide a launcher (so they could be opened by a bookmark in Firefox) than I'd happily provide a patch to split the launcher to a subpackage.
Eh, I'm just picking my battles here. A Release Notes launcher that starts Firefox is not good and we should get rid of it, but it's not very bad either and if the release notes people want another cycle to rethink how to present the release notes, well why not let them have it?
Another thing we could do is add it as a default web app. GNOME Software requires "epiphany-runtime" which is all of Epiphany except the desktop file, so that it can install and remove web apps. Well, why not make the release notes a web app -- then the release notes team gets to keep the desktop launcher, and we are happy since it's a real application.
Someone had proposed that in #fedora-docs late yesterday, I like it.
I'm working on some copy right now, and will go for an ephiphany web-app style presentation in GNOME for the next RPM.
For the record, the collaboration part of my arguments here are *far*
more important to me than the actual inclusion of a Release Notes RPM. It's a valid discussion, and I would much rather start on that basis, instead of potentially missing a discussion about a design philosophy on a SIG list, then finding out about the impact when I learn that an RC isn't meeting release criteria because of my package.
There's a more native presentation in an RPM available at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=573983 , or soon from an updates-testing mirror near you. What do you think? - -- - -- Pete Travis - Fedora Docs Project Leader - 'randomuser' on freenode - immanetize@fedoraproject.org
