It's more or less the same qualification, though. Also note this text was all written before we had the 'previous release blocker' concept. > Question 2: > > Beta release criterion: > "Release-blocking live and dedicated installer images must boot when > written to optical media of an appropriate size (if applicable) and > when written to a USB stick with any of the officially supported > methods.

As the person who wrote both the criteria and (most of the page), my current interpretation would be that fmw, litd, and arguably dd and GDU are covered (though GDU is possibly a mistake and we could twiddle things a bit to make it not covered; I really only mean it to be included to cover the case of non-Fedora Linux where Flatpak is not usable). The unetbootin section exists only to state that we do *not* support it, and the text says that multiple times. > I'd say Fedora Media Writer should be the only one that's officially > supported/recommended.

That's possible, but it's more work than I had time to do last week. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
