Just a heads-up, folks - I completed the Beta criteria revisions,
following the general model from Alpha (as previously discussed in
thread "Major criteria re-write / re-design proposal"), and put the
revised version into place just in time for tomorrow's first Beta
blocker review meeting. Of course, please call out any errors /
omissions etc!
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_19_Beta_Release_Criteria

Kickstart delivery section needs some clarification as in "'Available'
defined by installer team" we should display there what are the valid
and supported combination of options

The problem I have with that is we're then more or less duplicating the kickstart documentation. Ideally we should link to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart#Chapter_6._Making_the_Kickstart_File_Available and it should contain the necessary info, and be accurate. I guess I'll add a link to it at least. Then we should update that wiki page.

The recommend part should be stripped out of "virtualization technology"
since we should cover both KVM and XEN ( we ship both )

We ship lots of stuff that we don't block releases for. Just the fact that we ship it doesn't mean we must block the release on it. We cover Xen in the Final criteria, at present, and only as DomU, not Dom0. In theory it might be nice to have the 'virtualization' criteria combined, but as one is Beta and one is Final and the extent of functionality covered is different, it seems hard from a practical point of view.

Xen even shares "Fedora-virt-preview.repo" and you use the
libvirt/virt-tools for it

It would be good for us to track down who recommend only kvm and cite
that if we are going to be "recommending" it

Good point, I'll see if I can trawl through the archives and add something to the references.

"Release-blocking desktops must notify the user of available updates,
but must not do so when running as a live image. "

"but must not do so when running as a live image." <--- makes no sense
and should be removed

Er? It makes perfect sense. We don't want to encourage people to run a system update when booting live; this will just result in RAM exhaustion. So we disable the update checks in the boot scripts of the live image kickstarts.

For F20 we should start looking into adding containers ( libvirt lxc )
to the beta criteria along with test cases for it

Why do you pick out containers in particular? Is this a particularly important area of functionality for the future?

Thanks for the feedback!
