Beta freeze in one week
by Bruno Wolff III 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Since live images are being composed use the git repo at this point in the release process (branch happens around final freeze), it is important to not be checking in changes to the spin-kickstarts repo for the Desktop (gnome) or KDE spins or anything they include during the Beta freeze period unless it is to fix a Beta blocker bug or a Beta Nice to Have bug. Please do not push out such changes during that time. Beta freeze starts late on Tuesday April 5th and continues until a release candidate is accepted. Typically acceptance is done at a Go / No Go meeting, the first of which will be on April 13th.

[spin-kickstarts] Desktop: Make AutomaticLogin understood by accounts service

Nightly live composes in koji
by Kevin Fenzi 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

Greetings. I've moved over to doing the nightly live media composes in koji instead of running them in serial on one build machine. Advantages: * Composes will finish in ~30min or so for all spins instead of taking all day on the one compose machine. * They are scratch builds, so koji will keep them around for 2 weeks (or less if that changes). This allows you to go back and look at older ones anytime you like, including logs and sizes. * This is the same env that will be used to produce official live media, so we are more closely testing what we are making. Disadvantages: * It's now harder to tell when media are growing over time. Perhaps someone could look at some reporting here to let us just pull the size from the jobs out to graph trends? * It's harder for us to test something like a new livecd-tools or other packages that are not yet in branched stable. You can find a list of the builds and links to their koji task pages at: http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/current.html Or older ones at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ Please do test things out and let me know if anyone runs into any issues that would require us to go back to the old way. ;) Thanks, kevin
