Thanks for your long feedback Adam :-) I will try to answer your question and I will hope I do not miss anything.

* Release blocking vs. Release non-blocking This has been discussed on the meeting [1] whether we should have only list of blocking deliverables as that is what we need now. However from the long-term point of view we would like to have list of non-blockig deliverables as well, to make sure we know what we are delivering. The current page [2] is a mix of both and I agree it is not consistent. Let consider this as the starting point with more work to be done here.

* Atomic & Docker Check the FESCo meeting minutes [1] starting at 18:06:21 - "the cloud people said no atomic"; "not a release blocker"

* Cloud AMI I am not sure whether this is blocking or not. Hopefully Cloud WG can provide us with a definitive answer [3].

* ARM platform I can not serve here as my ARM awareness is limited. Hopefully someone from FESCo can comment here. If not, I can open this issue on the next FESCo meeting (you will be welcomed to join).

* Template:Release criteria preamble [4] Thanks, I was not aware of this. I prefer to have just one page. Probably will be a good topic for the next FESCo meeting to clarify this. We can probably also use the list from TC1 and merge all these together.

* haphazardly-formatted human-readable text The page was the first attempt to have at least something for F23 release. We plan to have a machine-readable format in a future (check the list of actions/tasks [5] ).

Regards, Jan

Hi,

in the past there was an issue with identification of deliverables which block a Fedora release. We were dealing with this issue specifically during Go/No-go meetings which is quite late for this kind of decisions. To solve this issue FESCo has started an activity [1] to identify these deliverables in advance. The list of blocking (as well as some non-blocking) deliverables for Fedora 23 is currently available on Wiki page [2].

You might want to check the list [2] to make sure we have all the blocking deliverables tracked. If you find anything what might not be correct from your point of view, please let me know, so we can discuss it. Thanks for your cooperation.

It doesn't seem entirely clear if the page is intended to be a list of all deliverables (which also notes whether each one is release blocking), or whether it's just intended to be a list of release blocking deliverables only. On the one hand, the page name has 'ReleaseBlocking' on it. On the other hand, the title is "List of Fedora 23 release deliverables". On the other other hand, the page lists several non-blocking deliverables. On the other other other hand, it's missing many more. See the end of this mail for a list of all (I think) media on the mirrors for F22 Beta TC1 (this list will be missing non-mirrored media like AMIs).

I'm surprised the Cloud AMIs are not listed. The various Atomic and Docker images are not listed either as blocking or non-blocking; is their status decided?

I've been trying to refer to the 'DVD' as 'offline' lately, since calling it 'the DVD' is a bit of a misnomer when most of the time it gets written to a USB stick. But it's not a big deal.

There is, to my knowledge, no "Xfce Live Image (arm)", exactly. ARM disk images are not the same thing as live images. To my knowledge the two release-blocking media for ARM are the armhfp minimal disk image and the armhfp Xfce disk image.

There is something of a 'jurisdiction overlap' here, as the release criteria already define some release blocking deliverables:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:Release_criteria_preamble

"The term release-blocking images means all the images in which bugs are currently considered capable of blocking a Fedora release. The current set of release-blocking images includes the images defined by the three primary Products - Server, Workstation and Cloud - in their product requirement documents and/or technical specifications, and the KDE live image."

We should probably clarify whether we intend the new page to be the canonical reference, in which case the criteria should be updated, or if the new page is just kind of an informational listing and the release criteria still define the policy.

Having this page in fairly haphazardly-formatted human-readable text seems a bit clunky. I think it might be nicer to have it in some standardized format (json or yaml or something) and generate a human- readable version from that. Of course, someone would have to do it.

As a side note, the criteria definition is notably missing the blocking ARM images, if that remains the 'canonical' reference we should fix it.

Here is the list of all the images in F23 Beta TC1, according to fedfind (the name is fedfind's 'image.desc' property):
