This is a tracking bug for Change: Fedora Media Writer as Primary Downloadable For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org//wiki/Changes/FedoraMediaWriterAsPrimaryDownloadable The new Fedora Media Writer that is being finished has an overhauled, more user friendly interface. Because USB sticks are the most common way to install Fedora, it should be the primary download option. It cover the whole installation media creation, it lets the user pick the right flavor of Fedora, downloads its image, and copies it to a USB drive.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle. Changing version to '25'.
On 2016-July-26, we have reached Fedora 25 Change Checkpoint: Completion deadline (testable). At this point, all accepted changes should be substantially complete, and testable. Additionally, if a change is to be enabled by default, it must be enabled at Change Completion deadline as well. Change tracking bug should be set to the MODIFIED state to indicate it achieved completeness. Incomplete and non testable Changes will be reported to FESCo on 2016-July-29 meeting.
Sorry, I had problems with my mail client and found this mail just now. The package is testable but it's not included in Fedora, yet. I will create the package today and go through the package review process and mark the bug as MODIFIED then.
I pushed FMW to Fedora after the package review. Currently, it's built for F23 and F24. It doesn't build for F25 and above, probably due to some compiler changes. I'll fix that tomorrow and build the packages again.
This looks like now built for Fedora 25 as well in mediawriter-0-1.1git728a879.fc25 build.
Yes. It's now in Bodhi: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-3ddbdc6ebb Not just for F25 but 24 and 23 too of course. I think F25 push will be most relevant to this Change.
So are we on track for this to be the primary download on Windows and Mac for the F25 alpha?
(In reply to Matthew Miller from comment #7) > So are we on track for this to be the primary download on Windows and Mac > for the F25 alpha? I don't think we're for alpha, but beta is possible. Fedora Media Writer is pretty much ready for wider testing, Martin is just ironing out smaller things. Dennis received Mac hardware and is figuring out how to build it in Fedora infra, I can't give any estimations for releng unfortunately. We also need to change the download website. I opened a ticket already for F24, but nothing has seemed to move forward: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites/ticket/384 Any idea, how to push that forward? I don't know an exact process for our websites.
I'm currently working on providing the final MinGW build - yesterday I talked to Dennis and we figured out the best way would be to build the .exe itself in Koji as a new mingw-* package and then compose the installer using files from multiple downloaded mingw packages.
On 2016-Sep-27 we reached the "Change Checkpoint: 100% Code Complete Deadline" milestone for Fedora 25 release. At this point all the Changes not at least in "ON_QA" state should be brought to FESCo for review. Please update the state of this bug to "ON_QA" if it is already 100% completed. Please let me know in case you have any trouble with the implementation and the Change needs any help or review. Thanks, Jan
