Description Geraldo Simião 2025-04-03 18:57:58 UTC
A final release criterion states that:
"For each Edition, the installer must be clearly identified as that Edition in all of that Edition's installable release-blocking images. Also, for any deployment of that Edition in accordance with the rest of these criteria, the relevant fields in /etc/os-release must include the correct Edition name."

But our brand new edition KDE Plasma Desktop Edition is not identified in such way.

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2025-04-03 19:00:14 UTC
Proposed as a Blocker for 42-final by Fedora user geraldosimiao using the blocker tracking app because:

 It violates the self-identification final criterion:

"For each Edition, the installer must be clearly identified as that Edition in all of that Edition's installable release-blocking images. Also, for any deployment of that Edition in accordance with the rest of these criteria, the relevant fields in /etc/os-release must include the correct Edition name."
But our brand new edition KDE Plasma Desktop Edition is not identified in such way.
