F26 proposal: Make Fedora Media Writer the officially supported USB install media creator

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

 



Based on today's blocker review meeting discussion, and this email
thread [1] I'd like to propose making only Fedora Media Writer the
*officially supported* USB installation media creation tool, starting
with Fedora 26.

The practical implication of "officially support" means bugs for which
we'd block the release. It doesn't make sense to block the release if
myriad tools all don't succeed. We only really need one to work, and
Fedora Media Writer is the cross platform tool we're investing in long
term.

The main idea of the proposal is to no longer block the release when
Fedora Media Writer is working, but some other possibly useful ways of
creating media aren't working. It doesn't mean those tools won't be
fixed, or would be removed from the distribution, just means we're not
holding up release for those alternative tools.

Comments?
