Distribution-wide Changes

Provides tag was moved to langpacks package

This change aims to provide more reliable, predictable, and consistent fonts installation as well as better user experience around font dependencies. To achieve this, the change moves the Provides: font(:lang=) tags into the langpacks-core-font- sub-packages of the langpacks package. The sub-packages already obtain the default font, locale and input-method for each language. As a result, whenever a missing glyph font installation is requested, the langpacks-core-font-<lang> package will be installed and will get the default font using the existing Requires: tag.

Physical optical media does not require pre-GA testing

Since Fedora 32, the operating system to be installed from the physical optical media will not need to be tested before the general availability. However, issues regarding physical media boot will still be treated as blocker bugs.

The change will affect the following images:

  • Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-RELEASE_MILESTONE.iso

  • Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-RELEASE_MILESTONE.iso

The change aims to address the trend of ever decreasing amount of new computers and laptops with CD/DVD drivers and errors that installation using this media entails.

As a result, the Fedora QE Team and community testers will have more capacity to test parts of Fedora that are far more visible and exposed to end users.

Important

Due to some bugs, users might not be able in some cases to complete the installation from optical media.
