Preupgrade offers upgrade to Rawhide, but Rawhide install images are no longer provided
Last modified: 2010-08-01 08:19:23 EDT
Description of problem: preupgrade(cli) rawhide Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All i686\x86_64 How reproducible: Always since F13-branched RFE: Remove "Rawhide" from releases.txt as it is no longer directly installable: "The rawhide tree is no longer directly installable. You have to install a previous release, then enable the rawhide repository and yum update to it." from an email reply. Plus all attempts to run preupgrade\cli Rawhide end in failure.
Created attachment 422909 [details] data/releases.txt (patch) The attached patch will adjust the releases.txt file included in preupgrade. However, I think Fedora infrastructure TRAC ticket#2216 (https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/2216) will be needed to track updating the official http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/releases.txt file so that it no longer offers 'Rawhide'. Does anything else use releases.txt?

So I don't know if releases.txt is intended to track "Installable" releases, or just repositories. I think the former? How would PackageKit be impacted by removing the 'Rawhide' stanza from releases.txt?

Correct. > How would PackageKit be impacted by removing the 'Rawhide' stanza from > releases.txt? Not at all -- the GUI doesn't show unstable releases.
Removing it from http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/releases.txt has now adjusted the behaviour of the GUI, so that even if "Display unstable" is check Rawhide will not show up. :)

But to confirm your findings, the intent of removing 'Rawhide' from http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/releases.txt is so that it will *not* display as an option in preupgrade. Rawhide install images are no longer provided When Fedora 14 is Branched from rawhide, releases.txt will be updated to offer preupgrade -> Fedora 14 (Branched).
Has been fixed.
