#806 Prepare websites for F28 final release
Closed: Fixed 5 years ago Opened 5 years ago by robyduck.

We need to start a bit earlier this time, because there are several updates we need to get in. Branch f28 has been created and is building in staging. Also, I've already updated variables for F28.
Main tasks (let me know if you want to take one):

  • We need to freeze translations soon, I'll send out an email to L10n and once we have some new text freeze them
  • Docker has been replaced with Container, we need to change all images, paths, checksum scripts and wordings. #800
  • Specify Fedora Server is modular and add modularity repo. We also are waiting for new wordings from the Server SIG #799
  • Add AtomicWorkstation image. The Workstation WG should let us know how to promote it and give us some instructions to place on the webpage. If we don't get any instructions, this image will slip to F29 #798
  • Check if the final (gold) RC has all images and eventually drop those who are missing from the websites
  • Add signed checksum files for F28 and check our script and fallback
  • Remove all Beta checksum files
  • Check paths and update them if Releng did any changes (hopefully not)
  • Eventually add the IoT image (if it will be produced) as a side image in alt.fpo
  • aarch64 architecture is primary now, remember we need to change the path from fedora-secondary/ to fedora/
  • Atomic ID will remain F27 until Release day, the Atomic WG will release F28 just after we have F28 live for all other editions/arches/images. The Atomic WG is in charge to create a PR we can review and merge easily afterwards (I already spoke with them and will sync out once they are ready)
  • Update image sizes and check if AMIs are correct
  • Regularlz update and push POT files for all websites to zanata
  • Redirect prerelease pages, we want to hide them

I hope that's all, eventually I'll add more later.


Wow, that's quite a list. As always, Robert, thank you so much for all your hard work here. You rock!

Is there any issue I can take?

Thank you @mattdm, but I fear most of the changes we were planning are just not doable because even after asking and re-asking Server SIG and Design/Marketing (Docker->Container) we didn't get any reply. While the Docker images are ok if we get them as last minutes things, we need to rewrite the Server pages and also add different wordings for Docker vs. Container.
That's not all, we also need to push that to Zanata and give people the time to translate the new strings, and we are now 1 week before release date.

We already have so many other stuff to do, there is no time to do extra work over the weekend.

The only one who gave us a wording and an idea about how to get changes in is the Workstation WG, @mclasen thank you for that.

SURE!!! Can you take a look at #798 ?
The last comment redirects you to the changes the WG would like to have. Feel free to take the ticket and go ahead, our branch for Fedora 28 final is f28. For any doubts just ask, also in #fedora-websites.

If you want to take other things of our to do list, just let us know and go ahead. Helping hands are very welcome :)

Thanks will have a look at it and open PR when I am done.
Where do I find the download link for the AtomicWorkstation image and its size?

@pjjroux don't worry too much about it (we will add sizes once we have final images), we don't have a RC for now, but the path will look the same as for Beta:
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/28_Beta-1.3/AtomicWorkstation/x86_64/iso/Fedora-AtomicWorkstation-ostree-x86_64-28_Beta-1.3.iso

Translations are now frozen. I've already sent out an email to the translation ML.

F28 has been released and tagged. For any issue related to it please file a dedicated ticket.
Thanks to all for contributing.
