Last updated: 2024-10-02
Announced
Discussion thread
FESCo issue: #3232
Tracker bug: #2298856
Release notes tracker: N/A

Detailed Description

The Fedora KDE SIG already considers Fedora KDE on AArch64 at the same level of importance as Fedora KDE on x86_64, and the SIG wants the Fedora KDE AArch64 deliverables (such as the disk images and ISOs) to be release-blocking alongside existing Fedora KDE x86_64 deliverables.

Feedback

Benefit to Fedora

This allows the Fedora KDE SIG to reinforce its commitment to the highest quality KDE Plasma experience on Fedora possible on AArch64 like on x86_64, and it lets Fedora better support the larger ecosystem around Fedora leveraging KDE Plasma (of one notable member being the Fedora Asahi Remix).

Scope

Proposal owners: Update pungi-fedora to mark AArch64 artifacts as release blocking (pagureio#pungi-fedora#1290)

Other developers: N/A (not needed for this Change)

Release engineering: #12165

Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)

Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)

Alignment with the Fedora Strategy: This aligns with expanding and improving Fedora's connections to the larger ecosystem by supporting upstream KDE with our expertise on AArch64 and downstream distributions like the Fedora Asahi Remix using Fedora KDE on AArch64.

Upgrade/compatibility impact

This has no impact on users.

How To Test

Fedora KDE can be tested on AArch64 the same way Fedora Workstation is:

Fedora KDE AArch64 ISO on either QEMU/KVM or a device with UEFI CD boot such as the Raspberry Pi using UEFI firmware
Fedora KDE AArch64 raw disk image on existing supported AArch64 devices

User Experience

This does not change anything for the user experience.

Dependencies

There are no extra dependencies.

Contingency Plan

Contingency mechanism: Revert release-blocking status for Fedora KDE on AArch64
Contingency deadline: Final Freeze
Blocks release? Yes

Documentation

There is no user-facing documentation to update. Fedora QA documentation on release-blocking artifacts will note Fedora KDE AArch64 artifacts as release-blocking.

Release Notes

Not applicable as this is not a user-facing Change.
