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. cat /etc/os-release NAME="Fedora Linux" VERSION="42 (KDE Plasma Prerelease)" RELEASE_TYPE=development ID=fedora VERSION_ID=42 VERSION_CODENAME="" PLATFORM_ID="platform:f42" PRETTY_NAME="Fedora Linux 42 (KDE Plasma Prerelease)" ANSI_COLOR="0;38;2;60;110;180" LOGO=fedora-logo-icon CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:fedoraproject:fedora:42" DEFAULT_HOSTNAME="fedora" HOME_URL="https://fedoraproject.org/" DOCUMENTATION_URL="https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f42/system-administrators-guide/" SUPPORT_URL="https://ask.fedoraproject.org/" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/" REDHAT_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT="Fedora" REDHAT_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT_VERSION=42 REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="Fedora" REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION=42 SUPPORT_END=2026-05-13 VARIANT="KDE Plasma" VARIANT_ID=kde Reproducible: Always fedora-release-identity-kde-42-0.22.noarch fedora-release-kde-42-0.22.noarch fedora-release-common-42-0.22.noarch
Proposed as a Blocker for 42-final by Fedora user geraldosimiao using the blocker tracking app because: It violates the self-identification final criterion: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_42_Final_Release_Criteria#Self-identification "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.
