[Test-Announce] Fedora 45 Bodhi enablement and Beta freeze

Hi all, Today's an important day on the Fedora Linux 45 schedule [1], with several significant cut-offs. First of all, today is the Bodhi updates-testing activation point [2]. That means that from now on all Fedora Linux 45 packages must be submitted to updates-testing and pass the relevant requirements [3] before they will be marked as 'stable' and moved to the Fedora Repository. Today is also the Beta freeze [4]. This means that only packages which Fix accepted blocker or freeze exception bugs [5][6] will be marked as 'stable' and included in the Beta composes. Other builds will remain in updates-testing until the Beta release is approved, at which point the Beta freeze is lifted, and packages can move to 'stable' as usual until The final freeze. Today is also the Software String freeze [7], which means that strings marked for translation in Fedora-translated projects should not now be Changed for Fedora Linux 45. Finally, today is the 'completion deadline' Change Checkpoint [8], meaning that Fedora Linux 45 Changes must now be 'feature complete or close enough to completion that a majority of its functionality can be tested'. All tracking bugs should be on ON_QA state or later to reflect this. Regards, Samyak Jain Fedora Release Engineering [1] https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-45/f-45-key-tasks.html [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy#Bodhi_enabling [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy#Branched_release [4] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Milestone_freezes [5] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process [6] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process [7] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/StringFreezePolicy [8] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Policy -- _______________________________________________ test-announce mailing list -- test-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-announce-leave@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new

[Test-Announce] 2026-08-24 @ 16:00 UTC - Fedora 45 Blocker Review Meeting

# F45 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2026-08-24 # Time: 16:00 UTC # Location: https://matrix.to/#/#blocker-review:fedoraproject.org?web-instance[element.io]=chat.fedoraproject.org Hi folks! It's time for the first Fedora 44 blocker review meeting! We have 3 proposed blockers and 3 proposed freeze exceptions for Beta. Here is a handy link which should show you the meeting time in your local time: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Fedora+43+Blocker+review+meeting&iso=20260824T16&p1=1440&ah=2 The meeting will be on Matrix. Click the link above to join in a web client - you can authenticate with your FAS account - or use a dedicated client of your choosing. If you have time today, you can take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ . Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you'll see links labeled "Vote!" next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions. Those links take you to tickets where you can vote. https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review has instructions on how exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs where there wasn't a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. **THIS MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!** We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F45 can be found on the wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting Have a good day and see you tomorrow!
