Bug 889470

I assume this is blocking the release, marking as such.

This is not handled by anaconda. It is included as part of the build process and will be removed for the final build.

More precisely, the fedora-release package is updated.

This command was run from F17:

$ sudo repoquery fedora-release --releasever=18 --show-dupes --enablerepo=updates-testing
fedora-release-0:18-0.8.noarch
fedora-release-0:18-1.noarch

The yum repo files are in the package:
$ rpm -ql fedora-release

(In reply to comment #3)
> More precisely, the fedora-release package is updated.
...

There appears to be a pro forma bug for that purpose:
Bug 889044 - need to disable updates-testing for final

I have performed a new netinst installation with the new fedora-release package (with updates-testing disabled) and anaconda still installs from updates-testing. This might need a new TC?

Anyway, we still need to track it, I'm reopening this bug. Please consider this bug report a formality only, it's just a reminder/safeguard and will be closed once a new compose is working properly.

Brian, if you want to reassign it to a different component, like lorax or something, please feel free to do so. Thanks.

Discussed at 2013-01-02 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-bugzappers/2013-01-02/f18final-blocker-review-8.2013-01-02-17.03.log.txt . Accepted as a blocker per criterion "A fedora-release package containing the correct names, information and repository configuration for a final Fedora release (as opposed to a pre-release) must be present on ISO media while the appropriately versioned generic-release package must be available in the online release repository".

the fix for this is already pushed stable

screenshot showing installed package after netinstall

Packages from updates-testing are still being installed with a net install. As the attached screenshot shows, fedora-release is from the fedora repository, but the kernel and glibc packages are from the updates-testing repository.

Tested with:
$ qemu-kvm -m 2048 -hda f18-test-4.img -cdrom ~/xfr/fedora/F18/F18-Final/TC3/Fedora-18-TC3-x86_64-netinst.iso -usb -vga qxl -boot menu=on -usbdevice mouse

The fedora-release package is installed early, but it really needs to be installed first ...

The net install CD has its own copies of the yum repo files in
/etc/anaconda.repos.d/. 

This bug should not be closed until the next build is tested.

The purpose of this bug is to have it open until we have a compose (TC4) that has updates-testing disabled by default. Reopening. We can test and close once TC4 is out and works OK.

This is fixed in TC4.

Also verified with Fedora-18-TC4-x86_64-netinst.iso:

1. Complete net install (minimal or desktop), reboot, login.
2. # yum repolist all
3. # yum list extras

Step 2 shows "fedora" and "updates" enabled, "updates-testing" disabled.
Step 3 shows no extra packages.
