14 DAY TRIAL // Dennis Gilmore has announced the other day that the upcoming Beta release of the Fedora 22 Linux operating system is now in freeze and no other packages than the ones who fix the accepted blocker or repair two bugs that have been declared exceptions to the freeze.
If everything goes according to plan, we will be able to download and test the Fedora 22 Beta operating system on April 14, 2015. The final freeze of the upcoming distribution will occur on May 5, followed by the final Fedora 22 release on May 19, 2015.
“Tuesday was the Beta freeze. This means that only packages which fix accepted blocker or freeze exception bugs will be marked as 'stable' and included in the Beta composes,” says Dennis Gilmore in the mailing list announcement dated April 2, 2015.
Dennis also mentioned that other packages except those mentioned above would remain in the ‘updates-testing’ channel until the Fedora 22 Beta distribution is approved for release on April 14.
The Beta freeze will be lifted on the same day, April 14, when those packages will be automatically moved to the ‘stable’ channel where they will remain until the Final freeze of the operating system. More details can be found in the Beta Freeze announcement.
