#367 Prepare websites for F18 final release 2013-01-08
Closed: Fixed None Opened 11 years ago by robyduck.

There are some things we need to do before release date, better asap to give translators more time.

  • merge arch-redesign in f18-beta branch
  • merge f18-beta in master branch
  • verify arch 386 or 686
  • 160 - change CD Iso with ISO Image

  • update ISO sizes and other variables in globalvar.py
  • add f18 keys on verify page and on bfo
  • need new f18_fpo_screenshot.png for slider in home
  • build master on stg
  • correct transifex (close arch-redesign, merge on master, open master translations...)

I hope I don't forget anything, in the meanwhile I will fix the #160 and after merging arch-redesign we should build the stg-pages against master.


Fixed #160 we could merge the branches now to master and build it on staging.

We also need:
f18_banner_background.png for the home slider
f18release.png banner

Ok we are on master now in stg.fp.o and spins.stg.fp.o

Beta and arch-redesign branch has been merged to master, so we can work on it.\
Images are ready to be pushed on fp.o, we have to get the keys and ISO sizes when final release will be build. (and there is also the annoying #129...)

Made some updates of the sliders, but don't know what to do with the second slider (anaconda).

Just for not forget I write down here:
* Control F17 hard links on spins.fp.o

Anaconda slider is ok, but we need a summary to insert on the slider.
We have to write that soon because translators should have time to translate it.

Mizmo and ryanlerch are trying to write a new anaconda wiki page to link to, perhaps they could give us a sentence to insert in the slider... :-)

After inserting it a po update is necessary.

We are almost done, there are only a few points to check out:

  • verify arch 386 vs 686
  • insert the F18-spins-CHECKSUM in the checksum directory
  • Games spin has failed to compose! Rebuild? Drop it? Link it to F17? We also need to insert the Game's ISO size into globalvar.py

I don't know if there is something else missing now, I hope not.

please drop the games spin for f18, it's not going to be present.

we can drop the game spins for the time being.And side by side rebuild it and when it is ready,we can add up afterwards.

Thx Kevin, games spin dropped for F18.

I saw we had a lot of hard links in the docs to Fedora 17 for example. I rewrote these rows using the globalvar variables (would be ok also for the future release versions now).\
I will file a ticket to replace all the en-US links in these files with a $lang variable. I think we should do this after F18 release.

There is only one thing to fix:
On the sidebar of the spins.fp.o the big button link to the torrent file includes a F17 variable of /data/templates/master.hml

Does anyone see any other errors?
Thx

F18 has been released, pages have been merged to master.
