Hi, folks. Quite a lot of release criteria proposals came out of
today's
go/no-go meeting. I'll propose them formally for discussion and
addition
to the official criteria here.
First off, we are missing criteria for booting to *console* rather
than
graphical desktop. This is important for e.g. minimal installs.
Proposal: two criteria. Alpha:
"When booting a system installed without a graphical environment, or
when using a correct configuration setting to cause an installed
system
to boot in non-graphical mode, the system should boot to a state
where
it is possible to log in through at least one of the default virtual
consoles."
Beta:
"When booting a system installed without a graphical environment, or
when using a correct configuration setting to cause an installed
system
to boot in non-graphical mode, the system should provide a working
login
prompt without any user intervention (aside from the firstboot
utility)
when boot is complete, and all virtual consoles intended to provide a
working login prompt should do so."
I definitely support this proposal.
