Phoronix: Fedora 30 Beta Won't Be Released Next Week Due To Their Arm Images Lacking A Browser

The Fedora 30 Beta was anticipated for release next Tuesday after having been under a beta freeze since 5 March, but that's not going to happen and now they are hoping to ship in early April...

Why don't they fix the build issues instead since they have more time? (unless the issues are huge...) Firefox is better than Epiphany.

arm should be as a secondary architecture. everything except x86 should be secondary and should not affect release dates.

x86_64 should be primary.

I love running a rolling-release distro and not having to deal with any of this crap

As soon as a package builds properly it's released - no blocking required.

afaik , isnt GCC9 the cause of Firefox not building? if so, my guess other things GCC9 builds on will Fail also , Fedora really stuffed up by allowing GCC9 in F30

Vastly more people use Linux on arm than on x86(-64). Ok, probably not Fedora, but still.

my thought is given all the interest that there is around arm small boards how is it possible that we still haven't fixed this bug after years???

Nobody cares about mobile peasants.

What I would like to know is when will they fix that huge "bug" known as their installer (Anaconda)?

Chromebooks

About 98% of the current (as in: 2015-now) Chromebooks are x86_x64, not ARM. So the majority of users are using x86_x64 Chromebooks. I think the reason for the ARM variant is stuff like the Raspberry Pi.
