This is because the .buildstamp file contains: Version=15-Beta Which doesn't turn into a number - it turns into a traceback. If we wrote real version numbers into .buildstamp, this would all work just fine. I think this comes up about every release. Anyway it won't be a problem in the final.

Thanks for the explanation. > If we wrote real > version numbers into .buildstamp ... OK, I'll bite ... is there a bug I can open? ;-) Or should I just retitle this one?

IIUC, it is impossible to test whether releases older than two previous cannot be upgraded with Alpha or Beta releases. This means testers waste their time ... :-( (In reply to comment #1) > This is because the .buildstamp file contains: > > Version=15-Beta > > Which doesn't turn into a number - it turns into a traceback.

Couldn't the installer parse "15-Beta" and turn it into a "real version number"? Passing the buck on to somebody else :) assigning to the correct person This anaconda commit appears to address this bug: When checking for allowing an upgrade, trim off any "-Alpha" or "-Beta". This means that 15-Beta cannot be used to upgrade F12, but it could be used to upgrade F14. http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=anaconda.git;a=commitdiff;h=779f77dec994205e5799ff536ad9328e4bd365b2 This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
