no release notes on Fedora 8 Live Desktop gnome cd
I created a resping of Fedora 8 CD only with newer packages and I still see this error. resping=respin I tested F9 Alpha and it also has no release notes?!? I did another custrom respin of Fedora 8 with latest packages and it also has no release notes... why? To clarify: F8 Lice CD Installed has a button "Release notes" that when you click you get a window saying "There are no release notes" F9 Alpha Live CD Installed has no Release notes button at all, why? Release notes are a great source of information and I believe that they would be valuable for lots of users. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2008-March/msg00126.html That thread summarizes why release notes were dropped from Anaconda. In short, (1) because they're not useful at the time of installation, (2) they cause significant pain for Anaconda developers, and (3) because they cause significant problems for spins. I should note for the record this bug filing is actually two separate bugs: 1. F8 doesn't show release notes when it has a button for them 2. F9 won't have release notes We can't really do anything about 1. at this point because we don't tend to update Anaconda after the fact for a release. So that could have been WONTFIX, but that seems like a rude way to close the bug. I chose to respond to the 2. case, which is NOTABUG, but simply acknowledging that a previous feature was ill-advised. ok, thanks. |
