The Fedora 8 Test 3 freeze is rapidly approaching! This is your last major chance for getting any bug fixes or other changes tested prior to the release of Fedora 8. The freeze date is next Tuesday, September 25. For full details of the schedule, as always, see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/8/Schedule What does this mean? It means that it's probably a good time to go through and look through all of the bugs that are filed against your packages. And as much as possible, fixing those bugs which you deem important for Fedora 8 prior to the freeze date. Also, for tracking purposes, you might want to attach important bugs to one of the tracker bugs according to the criteria at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/ReleaseCriteria. A quick summary of the main tracking bugs are * F8Blocker (235703): This is for bugs which are very very bad. Bugs which the release team should consider slipping the release for. Note, you should not use this characterization lightly. And the final judgement on whether a bug is worth slipping the release will be made by the release team. * F8Target (235704): Bugs which are pretty important, but not slip-worthy. The release team will keep an eye on this list and would ultimately like the open bugs here to be as minimal as possible. Once we enter the freeze, changes for the test release will be approved according to the normal test freeze policy (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/TestFreezePolicy). After Test3, we want to reduce the number of changes going in to help ensure that the final release has as few regressions as possible. So it's very important to get as many of the fixes as possible done prior to Test3. More complete details about the post-test3 procedure will be forthcoming as we reach that point in the schedule. Thanks for your hard work!
