#611 Prepare websites for F25 Alpha release
Closed: Fixed None Opened 7 years ago by robyduck.

We are starting a new release cycle (Alpha release is planned for august 23th), and we will have some important changes. I'm not sure how the state of art is of the new media downloader, and also if it also should serve prerelease images; in case we need to rewrite all our major download links (see #384)

On the other hand we should finalize alt.fedoraproject.org (see https://alt.stg.fedoraproject.org) with subpages for secondary arches. Would be nice to get it done and start with F25 Alpha.

The other stuff needs to be tested very well, we had a lot of errors for F24 final release because the paths changed heavily and we couldn't know that. Please refer to the actual final release to see how things changed in the meanwhile.

Atomic has become a chapter for itself, we should get soon in touch with cloud WG to see what they are planning and how they want to get out the two week images this time. The most probable scenario is that we won't have atomic images for prerelease again.

  • Create F25 Alpha branch
  • update globalvariables to F25 Alpha
  • Add Alpha banner
  • Check all Download links and paths
  • Add CHECKSUM files to static/checksums and verify that the paths are correct.
  • Add EC2 AMI IDs for Alpha. Our script is working also for prerelease, but let's add them also manually to globalvar.py, just to be sure.
  • Check and eventually fix checksum paths in all verify pages
  • Update Alpha Image sizes and pre_cloud_composedate in ./build.d/globalvar.py. Verify they are right in Cloud images and Docker image.
  • Update the new POT files and push them to Zanata

I have a question.
Though "verify" button's destination page is a common one page,
why many "verify" buttons are there?

In the future (but not now), I think that its "verify" buttons should will be merged to few buttons.

As well "arm" page. ( https://arm.fedoraproject.org/ )

Nope, we will keep it as it is now. Checksum files might change and we want to be flexible for any kind of last minute changes. From a UI POV the screenshot is not really a good solution, IMHO.

Let's concentrate on the task for now, but thanks for your attempt to improve our pages ;)

F25 Alpha branch has been created now, but please keep all the work for alt.fp.o on its dedicated alt-rewrite branch (will probably need updates before merging it back).

Alpha is out and we already are on Beta, closing as fixed.

It may be done for website work, but it didn't reach translators.

Can you please send us the strings so we translate it?

Sorry to reopen this ticket, I haven't found any other.

The last POT update was 3 weeks ago, that should contain all the new strings. I pushed it again for getfedora.org right now, can you look and eventually tell us which strings you are missing?

All the other websites (spins, arm and labs) we updated for Alpha/Beta had the string changes in the last commit, so they should be already ok.

oh, sorry Robyduck, I forgot to mention I was talking about alt.fedoraproject.org who is locked in Zanata.

And Zanata says alt.fpo strings where push on 05/06/16 23:42 by robyduck

alt.fp.o is still not live and we are working on it. I hope we can get on it in time, as it's scheduled for F25 GA. Strings are not correct right now, so pushing them to zanata would only make you work, probably for nothing.

Once we have the first final strings I'll open the the document in zanata. At that point I will also let you know through the ML you can start with translations. (the strings you see are just a test)

I guess we can reclose this ticket then. Or?

ok, we can close it thank you
