Hi, Being somewhat new to the Fedora releases I'm looking for a better understanding of how the release process works and the methodology Fedora uses to determine when a release is ready to ship. I'd like to document this if it isn't done already. Earlier in the week this page was discussed: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/7/MustHave I am curious how we determine which open bugs must also be fixed in order to reach GA? I would think some of these bugs are tied to the "MustHaves?" I ran a few queries and was left wondering how bugs really do play into the GA of a new release when there are so many open bugs from the previous releases and "Development." I ran a quick query of the Fedora Core and found the following number of *unresolved* bugs in the state of: "NEW" "ASSIGNED" or "MODIFIED." Product: "Fedora Core" Version: FC5T1 20 FC5T2 24 FC5T3 80 FC5GA 1,545 -------- FC5 Total 1,669 FC6T1 37 FC6T2 82 FC6T3 153 FC6GA 2,315 -------- FC6 Total 2,587 Development 2,859 ---------- Total Bugs 7,115 ========== This raised a few questions for me: 1) Is there a mechanism to know which of the bugs above must be fixed or FC7 to GA? 2) What process do we go through to close these bugs? 3) How does Fedora decide a release is ready to GA? 4) How are bugs from previous releases considered in the planning process?
