IMPORTANT (release blocker): Status of Workstation network install

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi, folks! We did the release blocker bug review meeting today, and one
of the bugs that came up for discussion was this one:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1134524

The question of whether this bug is a release blocker comes down pretty
clearly to the status of the Workstation network install image. That is,
the image is clearly busted, so if we care about that image, we should
consider the bug a release blocker.

However, the question of whether the Workstation network install image
should be considered 'supported' / 'release-blocking' / whatever does
not appear to be settled. As I noted in my comment:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1134524#c2

as Workstation was originally designed it seemed clear that the answer
was "no, we don't care about netinst", but things seem to have changed
somewhat since then, and kalev seemed fairly receptive to blocking on
Workstation netinst for F21:

<kalev> adamw: so, my take on this is that I would really like to have a
single installation media for Workstation, only the live USB / dvd
<kalev> but I also do understand that in some environments, the PXE boot
and netinstall are necessary, especially corporate installations
<kalev> what I'm envisioning in the future is that we should have a
single netinstall for the whole of Fedora, where one could select server
or workstation
<kalev> but that's not the future we are in right now; I'll try to lobby
to make this happen for F22
<kalev> but for F21, I think we'll just have to make do with what we
have and make the workstation-specific netinstall work
<kalev> so I don't mind having it as a blocking bug

I thought it'd be best to have a clear and publicly-recorded consensus
on this, though, and ask the Workstation WG to amend the tech spec if
appropriate. So: is it the case as kalev suggests that for F21 at least
the Workstation network install image should be considered 'release
blocking', i.e. a supported medium of the Workstation product? If so,
can the tech spec be updated to reflect that?

Once there's a clear answer to this question, we'll update the release
criteria appropriately and determine the blocker status of the bug.

Thanks!
