This conversation was started on Monday in the QA meeting but I forgot to send anything out to the list. We're a bit short on time, so a quick vote would be appreciated Tim As currently written, the Fedora 20 alpha release requirements [1] state that optical media must boot: 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 at least one of the officially supported methods. [1]http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_20_Alpha_Release_Criteria#Release-blocking_images_must_boot The question was whether it was important to have this requirement at alpha when the isos aren't required to be the correct size until beta. As it currently stands, the DVD isos can't be burned to single-sided DVDs. I propose that we modify that we do two things: 1) modify the alpha criterion so that it only requires optical media to work if the isos are correctly sized 2) require booting from optical media at beta when the isos are required to be properly sized Proposed change to the "supported media types" section of the release blocking media criterion [1] : Release-blocking live and dedicated installer images must boot when written to optical media of an appropriate size (if applicable and the images are correctly sized) and when written to a USB stick with at least one of the officially supported methods. Release-blocking ARM disk images must boot when written to a medium bootable by the platform under test, according to the instructions for the platform under test. [1]http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_20_Alpha_Release_Criteria#Release-blocking_images_must_boot Proposed change to the beta release blocking image criterion [2]: Difference from Alpha: This criterion differs from the similar Alpha criterion in that it requires optical media to boot and that all supported methods of writing a Fedora USB stick to work, not just any single one.
