Fedora 21 Final Release Candidate 5 (RC5) Available Now!
by Adam Williamson 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

NOTE: Signing of the RC5 checksums is not yet complete. To be sure we're testing the right bits we should remember to check that the images we test match the signed checksum files once they're available, and of course you can carefully check the TLS certificate of the server when downloading the images. fedup tests may require the --nogpgcheck parameter until the signed .treeinfo file is available. releng will update and close the trac ticket when signing is complete. As per the Fedora 21 schedule [1], Fedora 21 Final Release Candidate 5 (RC5) is now available for testing. The difference between RC5 and RC4 is that the changes to python-blivet and pyparted that were introduced in RC1 to fix bug #1166598 have been reverted, as they were found to cause more serious problems than they fixed. As this change affects the installer, all installation validation tests should be run again. Existing RC4 test results for post-installation tests will be considered valid and transferred into the RC5 result pages; from now on, please do all testing with RC5 images. Please see the following pages for download links (including delta ISOs) and testing instructions. Normally dl.fedoraproject.org should provide the fastest download, but download-ib01.fedoraproject.org is available as a mirror (with an approximately 1 hour lag) in case of trouble. To use it, just replace "dl" with "download-ib01" in the download URL.

Fedora 21 Final Release Candidate 4 (RC4) Available Now!
by Adam Williamson 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

NOTE: Signing of the RC4 tree is not yet complete, there are technical issues in releng preventing it working. To strictly be sure we're testing the right bits we should remember to check that the images we test match the signed checksum files once they're available, and of course you can carefully check the TLS certificate of the server when downloading the images. fedup tests may require the --nogpgcheck parameter until the signed .treeinfo file is available. releng will update and close the trac ticket when signing is complete. As per the Fedora 21 schedule [1], Fedora 21 Final Release Candidate 4 (RC4) is now available for testing. Note that RC3 never made it out of the compose process - releng made a small mistake so they started over, and it was easier to call the retry 'RC4' than clean up the failed attempt and call the retry 'RC3'. The only difference between RC4 and RC2 should be that the live images have correct fontconfig caches. Otherwise RC4 and RC2 should be effectively identical. There is no difference in their package sets, the fontconfig fix was done in the kickstarts. Existing RC2 test results will be considered valid for RC4 and transferred to the RC4 result pages, but from now on, please switch to testing the RC4 images. At present we're hopeful RC4 will be good enough for Final release, so please help us get through all the testing!
