#13034 set released_on date field in Bodhi Release metadata
Opened by petersen. Modified

Close Issue

Currently the Bodhi Release(s) API metadata has eol defined for each release but we don't set released_on. Could we please start doing that from F43 or F44 at the very least. Though honestly it would be nice to have this set for all current Fedora releases IMHO.

  • If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?

There is no way to detect when a Fedora release is actually GA from the API currently, since state: current is set some days before the actual GA.

This affects fedora-repoquery 43 for example: currently (before F43 GA) it fails because it thinks it is already GA.

@mattia can you look into bodhi cli, I think this seems to be a problem there?

(I had a quick look at the code and can't see anything obvious - so I almost wonder if it is the db?)

It was indeed a bodhi bug, which is fixed now: https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi/issues/5964 I think with the next bodhi release it will be set.
