Hi all,
when preparing for installing fedora on my new laptop, I stumbled across
this weird message on the download page
https://spins.fedoraproject.org/xfce/download/index.html.
"Although this spin failed to compose for the final release, this test
compose contains fixes over the final content to allow for a successful
compose and should meet most users' needs. You can verify the test
compose image with a dedicated CHECKSUM file for 64-bit
<https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/unofficial/releases/29/x86_64/Fedora-UNOFFICIAL-29-20181029.1-x86_64-CHECKSUM>
and 32-bit
<https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/unofficial/releases/29/i386/Fedora-UNOFFICIAL-29-20181029.1-i386-CHECKSUM>
images."
To me this is totally confusing for new users and I don't really know if
it's a really good idea to show this message there. Of course I think
it's good to be honest and transparent, but this message needs a certain
level of understanding of the fedora release process and without it, it
just confuses people.
I mean who cares if the final compose failed, if updated images are now
available and are working? Is it mandatory to display such a message if
the final release is updated?
I really think we can do better, since the spins do look like an unloved
stepchild enough already.
All the best
Johannes
