Possible Slippage of Fedora 10 Alpha?

#1 4th August 2008, 11:46 AM

A brief note from Jesse Keating on Friday requested[1] an IRC meeting with spin owners, QA, Kernel and other concerned parties to discuss the problem that "split media"[2] was not working currently. As the Alpha release is scheduled[3] for August 5th it seems as though there is little time to solve this problem.
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedo.../msg00005.html
The ability to break a set of RPM packages into media images to be used by anaconda during installation is a difficult one. Currently it is handled by the pungi module https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/pun...Docs/PungiDocs
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/10/Schedule

In an aside Jesse referred to the problem that the "Alphas" are currently hidden away from the general community and that he would like to address this at a subsequent ReleaseEngineering meeting.

Be Prepared for this to Slip..didn't Fedora 9 Alpha slip by a week or 2? im sure it did

it is not too bad to slip the date in order to ensure a slight better experience. Fedora 9 is rock solid for me, so I can wait even one month more without any complaint...

true that. but atleast hopefully with this slip it wil allow Xorg7.4/XServer1.5 to go final before Fedora10 goes final which in hope will bring Drivers in plus i think the more testing this PlyMouth gets the better before it goes final
