Description of problem: trying to install 21_Alpha_TC6 results in Unable to complete install: 'invalid literal for int() with base 10: '21_Alpha_TC6'' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 91, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1787, in do_install guest.start_install(meter=meter) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/guest.py", line 384, in start_install self._prepare_install(meter, dry) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/guest.py", line 277, in _prepare_install util.make_scratchdir(self.conn, self.type)) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/installer.py", line 201, in prepare self._prepare(guest, meter, scratchdir) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/distroinstaller.py", line 444, in _prepare self._prepare_kernel_url(guest, fetcher) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/distroinstaller.py", line 347, in _prepare_kernel_url store = urlfetcher.getDistroStore(guest, fetcher) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/urlfetcher.py", line 311, in getDistroStore dist = _distroFromTreeinfo(fetcher, arch, _type) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/urlfetcher.py", line 295, in _distroFromTreeinfo ob.isValidStore() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/urlfetcher.py", line 681, in isValidStore vernum = int(str(ver).split("-")[0]) ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '21_Alpha_TC6' we expect to keep the _ in the versions going forward. so we need to deal with them appropriately
I'd say this would in theory be Beta blocker (not Alpha), as virt is generally Beta. The Alpha requirement for direct kernel boot to work is about PXE booting. However, it probably doesn't really need to be a blocker / freeze exception at all as this is a host issue not a guest one (the host's probably more likely to be F19 or F20 or RHEL or something than it is F21, rthough obviously we should fix it everywhere).
Fixed upstream, build coming tomorrow commit 2e7d477156e9d0f6fb218fa19fc00d6229d33e85 Author: Cole Robinson <crobinso> Date: Sat Sep 6 15:35:30 2014 -0400 urlfetcher: Bunch of distro detection fixes

Discussed at 2014-09-10 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2014-09-10/f21-blocker-review.2014-09-10-16.07.log.txt . Rejected as a blocker - as this is a host-side issue, it doesn't really need to be on the frozen images / install tree. People running VMs directly from a live image might possibly hit it, but they can 'yum update' or just rename the ISO. The usual case is running VMs from an installed system, and installed systems will get the update normally.
