#826 aarch64 missing from getfedora.org server download page
Closed: Fixed 5 years ago Opened 5 years ago by pbrobinson.


Will a similar to "other downloads" work. We can put it between the Other downloads and Get more Fedora with a heading like aarch64 downloads.

I would just add it to "other downloads". There is a subtitle "Netinstall image", we could just add another subtitle which says "Aarch64 Images". WDYT?

Why not have it along side x86_64. I've not doen YEARS of work to have it made primary to have it sidelined under "other"

FESCo has decided it is primary so it should sit there along side the other primary Server architecture

Why not have it along side x86_64. I've not doen YEARS of work to have it made primary to have it sidelined under "other"

Do you think just because it is on the side it is not primary? All images on getfedora.org are primary.
We have one image on top, and that's and will remain the x86_64 bit image. On the side we have all other deliverable, even for x86_64, putting it there it's the only place we have.

@robyduck I think they want it as part of the main download maybe second link under the x64 instead of the other downloads section but I can’t really see what the issue is and how it will make a difference if we put it under other with aarch heading it should be prominent enough?

Hi folks! I just got pointed at this ticket.

First off, I want to say this: mea culpa. When Server SIG voted to promote the aarch64 offering to primary, it fell to me to communicate our needs to the website team and I completely dropped the ball on that. I'm very sorry about this and I hate asking you to make new changes post-release to clean up my mistake.

That being said, Peter is correct that the current view of aarch64 on the website has it sidelined (both figuratively and literally). As Fedora 28 Server Edition is making a concerted effort to get behind aarch64, I feel (in my capacity as a Server WG member) that we need to make certain that it is displayed as prominently as our x86_64 offering.

What I think we should do here is take a page from Atomic Host's download page and display the aarch64 and x86_64 downloads in the body of the page rather than in the header bar. In particular, the layout used for "Atomic Host Images for Cloud Environments" would be a perfect model for what I think we're looking for.

I'd create a new section at the top of the body entitled "Fedora Server Images", leave the first paragraph alone except for changing instance of "The Fedora Server image" to "A Fedora Server Image" and then put the two columns of x86_64 and aarch64 download buttons below that.

@robyduck It's been 10 days since I made my last comment here, could you acknowledge the request, please?
