Hi there,
Fedora 10 has entered it's Beta Freeze stage which in your case is the
time to start making absolutely sure your Spins are in perfect shape for
being composed by Release Engineering.
Things you will need to make sure are, amongst others:
- it is not oversized
- it composes without troubles
- it ends up like you want it
- it boots, and runs
- it shows no unexpected behavior in applications you include
Right now, the following kickstarts are approved by the Spin SIG:
= fedora-aos.ks (Fedora AOS) =
- SELinux was added back to address the Board's concern with it being
removed originally. This should resolve the only issue the Board raised
but we've not yet seen explicit approval.
- The tool this spin is supposed to be composed with, appliance-tools,
is currently at Release Engineering's discretion. As said before, this
spin also composes with livecd-tools and spits out a nice minimal live
ISO which then again of course also includes the raw ext3 .img file.
- Approved by Spin SIG,
- Approved by Board
- Approved by Rel. Eng.

For the Fedora 10 Beta, a new branch has been created in the
spin-kickstarts repository, called F-10-Beta. This branch only contains
the files necessary for composing the spins. Note that like the rawhide
tree, this branch is supposed to be frozen and as such you should only
be applying fixes, no huge changes.
To checkout the F-10-Beta branch and start working with it, do:
git pull
git checkout --track -b F-10-Beta origin/F-10-Beta
You should not commit any changes to this branch as this is what Rel.
Eng. is going to use to compose the spins from, and we do not know when
that is exactly. Fixes go into the master branch and are pulled into the
F-10-Beta branch only if necessary.
If you have any questions or remarks, please don't hesitate and drop the
list a line.
Kind regards,
Jeroen van Meeuwen
