Hey folks! So, the branch event for Fedora 29 recently happened. That means we now have a Fedora 29 branch and Rawhide is now what will eventually become F30.
If you were on Rawhide but you want to follow F29 development, and not stay on Rawhide, the instructions for switching can be found here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide#Questions_and_Answers "Q: How do I get out of Rawhide again? I want to switch to the Branched release or a stable release. A: Remove the fedora-repos-rawhide package and/or disable the 'rawhide' repository (su -c 'dnf config-manager --set-disabled rawhide'), enable the 'fedora' and optionally 'updates' and 'updates-testing' repositories (su -c 'dnf config-manager --set-enabled fedora(,updates,updates-testing)') and perhaps run su -c 'dnf -- releasever=(version) distro-sync'. The farther the branch to which you want to switch is behind Rawhide, the more trouble you might have with this. A possible problem is that you might miss the branching point, and your system has already a bunch of post-branch Rawhide packages installed. In that case, the dnf distro-sync will help you to get everything back on the right track." Also, quick note on state for anyone using either branch: if you're on Rawhide, you will likely have issues with package signing. These should be resolved when we get a new Rawhide compose completed and synced out to mirrors, unfortunately the 20180818.n.0 compose failed; releng is looking into that. F29 should be mostly working OK at this point. If you install it from scratch, or reinstall the bootloader for some reason, you may run into https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1618928 , where grub prints a bunch of stuff on boot (not sure if this actually indicates there was some kind of error, or just someone left some kind of verbose debugging switch turned on by mistake): if you just page through all the output (by pressing space) then boot will proceed. That grub build has now been tagged into Rawhide too, so this may also affect fresh Rawhide installs when we get a new compose, if it doesn't get fixed first. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/BMFAWIFG3P4BXYJXFENG3AEKF6YZWXYH/
