Hi folks! So I've had this action item at meetings forever now:
"adamw to try and clarify intent of "default application functionality"
criterion regarding arches"
That's referring to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_35_Final_Release_Criteria#Default_a...
, which kinda reads at first glance like it's excluding Workstation
aarch64, but that isn't the intent. The intent is that we require the
specific list of application types to work on all release-blocking
desktops and arches, including Workstation aarch64. Beyond that, we
require *all* installed apps to work on Workstation x86_64.
I think it'd be clearer if we write the criterion in the same order as
my explanation above. So I propose we revise it to:
===
For all release-blocking desktop / arch combinations, the following
applications must start successfully and withstand a basic
functionality test:
* web browser
* file manager
* package manager
* image viewer
* document viewer
* text editor
* archive manager
* terminal emulator
* problem reporter
* help viewer
* system settings
If there are multiple applications of the same type (e.g. several web
browsers), the primary/default one must satisfy the requirements. If
the primary/default application can't be determined, at least one of
said applications must satisfy the requirements.
Additionally, for Fedora Workstation on the x86_64 architecture,
'''all''' applications installed by default must meet this
requirement.
===
Thoughts? Is this an improvement? Anyone have a better idea? Thanks!
