Use this guide to determine to which category your proposed change belongs to.
 
Self Contained Changes are:
* changes to isolated/leaf package without the impact on other packages/rest of the distribution
* limited scope changes without the impact on other packages/rest of the distribution
* coordinated effort within SIG with limited impact outside SIG functional area, accepted by the SIG
 
System Wide Changes are:
* changes that does not fit Self Contained Changes category touching
* changes that require coordination within the distribution (for example mass rebuilds, release engineering or other teams effort etc.)
* changing system defaults
 
For Self Contained Changes, sections marked as "REQUIRED FOR SYSTEM WIDE CHANGES" are OPTIONAL but FESCo/Wrangler can request more details (especially in case the change proposal category is
improper or updated to System Wide category). For System Wide Changes all fields on this form are required for FESCo acceptance (when applies). 
 
We request that you maintain the same order of sections so that all of the change proposal pages are uniform.

LXQt image for aarch64

Important.png
This is a proposed Change for Fedora Linux.
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.

Summary

Generate LXQt image (both iso and disk image) for aarch64 architecture.

Owner

  • Name: Zamir SUN
  • Email: zsun#AT#fedoraproject.org

Current status

  • Targeted release: Fedora 38
  • Last updated: 2022-10-14
  • devel thread
  • FESCo issue: <will be assigned by Wrangler>
  • Tracker bug: <will be assigned by Wrangler>
  • Release notes tracker: <will be assigned by Wrangler>

Detailed Description

LXQt has moved out of 0.x version and is now 1.1.0, so I consider it to be a pretty stable desktop environment. Recently, 64bit ARM architecture is becoming more and more popular in laptops and workstations. By generating a LXQt image for aarch64 will offer aarch64 another easier option to evaluate and use Fedora.

Benefit to Fedora

Offers users of 64bit ARM architecture another desktop option that works out-of-the-box.

Scope

  • Proposal owners: Nothing. The LXQt packages are already in the distribution. And the kickstart for generating LXQt image on x86_64 can be directly used.
  • Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
  • Release engineering: 11086 (a check of an impact with Release Engineering is needed)
  • Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
  • Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)

Upgrade/compatibility impact

N/A (not a System Wide Change)

How To Test

Install using the ISO or the disk image on aarch64 system. The system should work as it should be by manually installing on top of any existing aarch64 system.


User Experience

Users of aarch64 systems should be able to directly install from LXQt ISO or disk image if they want to use LXQt.

Dependencies

We need to ask release engineering team to generate the image.

Contingency Plan

  • Contingency mechanism: Just do not ship the newly generated image.
  • Contingency deadline: Fedora 38 Beta Freeze
  • Blocks release? N/A (not a System Wide Change)
  • Blocks product? N/A

Documentation

N/A (not a System Wide Change)
