Description of problem: I've been following this test case: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_upgrade_gnome-software_previous_workstation On an installed Fedora 27 Workstation, gnome-software shows me a banner "Fedora 28 now available" instead of offering me Fedora 29. I've enabled using pre-release versions: $ gsettings get org.gnome.software show-upgrade-prerelease true and rebooted, per instructions. Hitting the refresh button in gnome-software doesn't help. In ~/.cache/gnome-software/fedora-pkgdb-collections/fedora.json I see: { "allow_retire": true, "branchname": "f29", "date_created": "2018-08-14 17:05:18", "date_updated": "2018-08-14 17:05:19", "dist_tag": ".fc29", "koji_name": "f29", "name": "Fedora", "status": "Under Development", "version": "29" }, so the file seems correct. This again seems to be a bug in gnome-software (and I have a feeling we deal with this every single release). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-software-3.28.2-1.fc27.x86_64 PackageKit-1.1.10-1.fc27.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. follow the test case Actual results: gnome-software offers upgrade to F28 Expected results: gnome-software offers upgrade to F29
Proposing as a beta blocker: "For each one of the release-blocking package sets, it must be possible to successfully complete a direct upgrade from a fully updated, clean default installation of each of the last two stable Fedora releases with that package set installed." https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_29_Beta_Release_Criteria#Upgrade_requirements
I reproduced this, but I also managed to get it to show F29 by hacking F28 out of the cached JSON. I think for Beta it's probably OK to say 'do that, or use dnf'; for Final we should ensure F27 is fixed. So I'm -1 for Beta, +1 (as a PreviousReleaseBlocker) for Final.
Discussed at 2018-09-13 Fedora 29 Beta Go/No-Go meeting, acting as a blocker review meeting: https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2018-09-13/f29-beta-go_no_go-meeting.2018-09-13-17.00.html . As there are several plausible workarounds here, we decided it would be acceptable to document those for Beta - both for people who specifically want to test the graphical upgrade from F27 to F29, and those who just want to get from F27 to F29 *somehow* - but this should be fixed for the Final release. Thus it is accepted as a PreviousRelease blocker for Final, which means this must work in stable F27 by F29 release date.
