#9479 Fedora EOL announcement improvements
Closed: Fixed 3 years ago by humaton. Opened 5 years ago by churchyard.

The Fedora 30 EOL announcement went out and I open this ticket for Fedora 31 EOL announcement improvements.

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/7UTUFY7WEL6RTFRXJB75XAFH44Y6RPUC/

  1. The announcement went to the list after the EOL. if packagers want to take action, they should be notified prior the EOL. I suggest we send the Fedora 31 announcement sooner.

  2. The announcement hasn't explicitly said that all updates of F30 being pushed to stable will be stopped. This confused several packagers: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/Z472V5GV5WLEEXLPP3EM2F5PXHAHFMMJ/ I suggest we make it more clear by adapting the text.

  3. The devel mailing list was not in the recipient list. Hence the message is needlessly stalled on devel-announce moderation. Please send the message to both devel and devel-announce.

What can I do to participate here? Thanks.


all three make sense to me. :thumbsup:

Sure, I will make the necessary changes and I will update the doc.

Thanks for the info

It appears I can no longer push to f31 branch (only tried one package though); is this earlier blocking of things now enabled? It hasn't been announced at least.

@qulogic This should be fixed now. Can you give it a try?

I could try, but as the announcement says updates stop on the 24th, there's not much point. I don't expect to be doing any more builds for f31 at that point, so the block didn't really matter; it's just that the announcement was a bit late.

@mohanboddu are these docs changes done for next time? ie, can we close this, or should we keep it open?

We still need to update docs here.
