There is a precedent for accepting this kind of update during freeze, but GNOME is usually in a more organized state to start with (i.e. we're usually going from something like an organized set of .91 builds to an organized set of .0 builds), so I suspect the danger of destabilizing the Beta is slightly higher. The earlier the update can be put together, the less unhappy I'd be to accept it wholesale through the freeze. Note that Go/No-Go is scheduled for next Thursday. To make sure everyone's on the same page, if we do *not* accept the update for the Beta, then by default those who install the Beta will get it on their first system update after installing (as updates- testing is enabled by default for pre-releases). Thus it will still certainly be testable. The decision to be made is basically "do the benefits of having the 3.30.0 builds actually in the Beta, in terms of making the live image and first boot environment work better, outweigh the risks that they will somehow cause issues for the compose process or contain undetected critical bugs worse than those in the current builds". The more runway we have to test the compose process and the composed artifacts, the happier I'd be with saying the benefits will likely outweigh the drawbacks. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
