== Preview Release (aka PR) Status == * Not ready--scheduled for availability on 2008-04-11 * Problems with yum and other compose tools * Snafu with package signing which caused rawhide to revert back to all unsigned copies of most packages--100G worth of churn * Spend rest of today untangling rawhide situation * Attempt Preview Release on 2008-04-15 with no change to GA date of 2008-04-29
== Mass Branching == * Toshio says that the tools (pkgdb, etc..) are ready for the mass branching. * should probably have a CVS outage to get the branching done--usually takes a full work day * Discusison left unfinished
== What is the Preview Release? == * "just another snapshot" or equivalent to Alpha and Beta which requires more formal testing before release? * discussion about confusion over what preview release is * Need clearer definition for what ''Preview Release'' and ''Release Candidate'' mean * DECISIONS: 1. Poelcat to take a shot at documenting purpose and criteria for snapshots and test releases 1. Preview Release will be as installable and functional as other test releases (Alpha and Beta) * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestResults/Fedora9Install/PreviewRelease
