Just before Fedora 35 was released, the KDE package manager did not conform to several of them: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2015809 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2011322 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2015491 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2011291 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2011333 It was largely these and a few other bugs that motivated us to draft these criteria. As I mentioned in my other mail, the point of the release criteria is to specify a subset of expected functionality which is so important we should block the release if it's not met. It's not *meant* to contain anything novel or unexpected. *Everything* in the release criteria should be "the way it's supposed to work already". What we're doing with the release criteria is saying "if these things *don't* work the way they're intended to, that's bad enough that we shouldn't ship the release". > > What this list does NOT cover are the pain points of the current > product, such as avoiding reboots. Yes, because reboots are a part of the way it's supposed to work. It would be wrong for the release criteria to say "there shouldn't be any reboots" if some of the package managers the distribution has chosen to use have chosen to require reboots on updates, and the distribution has decided that it's fine with that (as we have). Release criteria are not tools for advocacy about how we we like the software to work. That should be done elsewhere. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA IRC: adamw | Twitter: adamw_ha https://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://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
