#523 Prepare webpages for F22 Beta release
Closed: Fixed None Opened 8 years ago by robyduck.

Beta branch (f22-beta) has been created, most of the scripts and work has already been done for Alpha and variables should help us a lot:

  • change globalvar state
  • add beta banner
  • add beta checksums and remove alpha
  • change ISO image sizes
  • add AMI IDs (contact oddshocks) once we have a GO for a RC
  • check DL links and verify they are consistent with the new paths
  • Spins, ARM and Docker are in spins.fpo

We are not going to have a countdown banner. The script won't work and it's also a huge work for design team. Finally we don't have a good place where we could put it. Any ideas are welcome but I'd propose to drop the release counter for F22.


I updated some of the globalvar variables to reflect F22 Beta. Once the ISOs come out, we will need to update the ISO sizes.

This was done in the f22-beta branch.

Ok pages are set (thx asrob and cydrobolt) and as I hoped the work we did for Alpha now pays us back :)

Once we have a GO for beta we need:
Image sizes
Ami IDs
compose build date and RC release we will GO for
signed checksums
check all DL links in getfedora.org and spins.fpo
check all doc links, make a wiki redirect for Release Notes

Note: we won't have a release counter this time, we plan to make a new one for F23 (one single image and an overlay script, see ticket #276.

Before readiness we need to add also a new image. I saw we have a Server ARM images this time.
Add Server ARM image to the ARM download tab in spins.fpo (probably needs a server icon too)
Add a new checksum row in our checksum table in spins.fpo/verify

Does the Docker image really belong under the spins page? I feel like the Docker image is buried. (It's currently in the sidebar and totally easy to miss.)

It's not really related to beta websites, but anyway, we'll keep it there because we don't have another place actually. Same for ARM, and for both getfedora.org is not an option.

Redesign of spins.fpo is in progress, maybe we find a nice place also for docker.

Robyduck - sorry, it's related in my mind, because I want to make sure we actually have the Docker image in a place we can promote it at F22 beta. :-) Any way we can move this under the Cloud page? (Have also started a discussion on fedora-devel about moving it under Cloud).

Under cloud? The Cloud WG was the one who didn't want to have Docker there, so maybe you should make this clear first within the WG. We can, although there is already much stuff, put it under Cloud, no problem, but please let me know in time because we are already working on two new websites for F22 GA:
spins.fpo will only have Desktop Spins
labs.fpo will have functional spins and maybe something else

Maybe we can file a new ticket for this task or continue under #315. Tomorrow is readiness and we will keep ARM and Docker for the last time under spins.fpo.

Beta Websites released, up and running fine. Thx.
