I am in favor of giving the web UI a shot, but I do think this is a pretty aggressive timeline given the amount of fairly large issues that remain to be resolved, especially exactly how the 'choose-your-own- partitioning' workflow is going to run (considering the stuff we discussed about constraints around partition size and boot partition requirements and disk label type requirements and so on). I think we need to be really ready, in advance, to pull the contingency lever for this one if it seems necessary. It should be fairly safe to do, since we'll still be testing the existing UI on other images, including the KDE live. Naming nitpicks: I'm pretty sure the existing non-custom partitioning flow is formally called "guided partitioning", so calling a new slightly-more-customizable-one "guided partitioning" and retroactively renaming the existing one "automatic partitioning" might be a bit confusing, at least to old-timers. Also, I still think of the existing UI as 'newUI', so I'm gonna keep calling this one 'webUI'. :D -- Adam Williamson (he/him/his) Fedora QA Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @ad...@fosstodon.org https://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
