<br>
<br>Today's an important day on the Fedora 34 schedule[1], with several
<br>significant cut-offs. First of all today is the Bodhi updates-testing
<br>activation point [2]. That means that from now all Fedora 34 packages
<br>must be submitted to updates-testing and pass the relevant
<br>requirements[3] before they will be marked as 'stable' and moved to
<br>the fedora repository.
<br>
<br>Today is also the Beta freeze[4]. This means that only packages which
<br>fix accepted blocker or freeze exception bugs[5][6] will be marked as
<br>'stable' and included in the Beta composes. Other builds will remain
<br>in updates-testing until the Beta release is approved, at which point
<br>the Beta freeze is lifted and packages can move to 'stable' as usual
<br>until the Final freeze.
<br>
<br>Today is also the Software String freeze[7], which means that strings
<br>marked for translation in Fedora-translated projects should not now be
<br>changed for Fedora 34.
<br>
<br>Finally, today is the 'completion deadline' Change Checkpoint[8],
<br>meaning that Fedora 34 Changes must now be 'feature complete or close
<br>enough to completion that a majority of its functionality can be
<br>tested'. All tracking bugs should be on ON_QA state or later to
<br>reflect this.
<br>
<br>Regards
<br>Mohan Boddu
