Description Horst H. von Brand 2008-02-18 14:21:35 UTC
Description of problem:
Going to e.g.
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/i386/os, there
are lots of directories and files. To the non-expert they are quite confusing. A
short README telling what to find in each directory and file, and particularly a
README for images, isolinux, and perhaps repodata would be nice.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora download directories. There is no category for "Fedora infrastructure",
so I filed this here.

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Break your rawhide's booting, look frantically for a rescue/boot image
2.
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:

Sounds like a good idea. Such distribution related bugs are usually filed
against the component distribution, so reassigning it to that component.

Thanks,

Read ya, Phil

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2008-02-18 20:47:59 UTC
pungi would be what would put these files in place, although this may need moved
to the source of these files that pungi would use.

Comment 3 Jesse Keating 2008-02-28 21:43:52 UTC
Yeah, I feel this should belong somehow to the docs team.

Comment 4 Paul W. Frields 2008-04-09 19:19:08 UTC
The README document does exactly this, and has been included in the
fedora-release-notes tarball payload for several releases.  Whatever way you're
using to drop README-BURNING-ISOS-en_US.txt in the iso/ directory, I suggest
using to drop README-en_US.txt in the os/ directory.

There are, in fact, translations of this document available, although whether
the process of dropping them into os/ then creates a space problem when you roll
Live images, I don't know.  So sticking with just the canonical en_US is at
least safe.


Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 05:15:40 UTC
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

Maybe too much has changed since this bug was last updated, but I don't see such
a file in the fedora-release-notes package.

Paul?



Comment 7 Paul W. Frields 2008-07-20 00:13:28 UTC
Well, I'll be darned.  At some point the README disappeared from the spec.  I've
restored it, will be back in 9.0.2-1 (and devel) shortly.
