I assume you don't want to do a production compose at this point
because then it's a compose that isn't tested, while ostensibly
identical the process has any number of non-deterministic aspects to
it, right? If so, is there an foreseen consequence of just renaming
the filename of the ISOs? Or does the final distributed ISO need to
retain the "RC-1.8" add-on?
I believe Dennis' position is that the RC is *exactly what we ship* -
we don't rebuild or rename the images. We just sync the entire tree
exactly as is into the release location. So it wouldn't be a directory
called '24-RC-1.8' or whatever any more, but the image filenames and
volume labels would still contain that identifier, if they originally
did.
It's sort of a minor point. There are build artifacts now as a
single
digit since I think Fedora 20, that don't mean anything to the outside
world (e.g. for workstation it's 21-5, 22-3, 23-10 for the past three
releases). But I don't think they hurt anything really, so if this
RC-1.8 add-on is in the distributed ISO, it's only very slightly
crusty.
Right, exactly.
