Description Kamil Páral 2018-09-13 09:10:18 UTC 
Description of problem:
I've been following this test case:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_upgrade_gnome-software_previous_workstation

On an installed Fedora 27 Workstation, gnome-software shows me a banner "Fedora 28 now available" instead of offering me Fedora 29. 

I've enabled using pre-release versions:

$ gsettings get org.gnome.software show-upgrade-prerelease 
true

and rebooted, per instructions. Hitting the refresh button in gnome-software doesn't help.

In ~/.cache/gnome-software/fedora-pkgdb-collections/fedora.json I see:
    {
      "allow_retire": true,
      "branchname": "f29",
      "date_created": "2018-08-14 17:05:18",
      "date_updated": "2018-08-14 17:05:19",
      "dist_tag": ".fc29",
      "koji_name": "f29",
      "name": "Fedora",
      "status": "Under Development",
      "version": "29"
    },
so the file seems correct.

This again seems to be a bug in gnome-software (and I have a feeling we deal with this every single release).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-software-3.28.2-1.fc27.x86_64
PackageKit-1.1.10-1.fc27.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. follow the test case

Actual results:
gnome-software offers upgrade to F28

Expected results:
gnome-software offers upgrade to F29
Comment 1 Kamil Páral 2018-09-13 09:11:59 UTC 
Proposing as a beta blocker:
"For each one of the release-blocking package sets, it must be possible to successfully complete a direct upgrade from a fully updated, clean default installation of each of the last two stable Fedora releases with that package set installed."

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2018-09-13 18:15:19 UTC 
I reproduced this, but I also managed to get it to show F29 by hacking F28 out of the cached JSON. I think for Beta it's probably OK to say 'do that, or use dnf'; for Final we should ensure F27 is fixed. So I'm -1 for Beta, +1 (as a PreviousReleaseBlocker) for Final.
Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2018-09-14 04:06:20 UTC 
Discussed at 2018-09-13 Fedora 29 Beta Go/No-Go meeting, acting as a blocker review meeting: https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2018-09-13/f29-beta-go_no_go-meeting.2018-09-13-17.00.html . As there are several plausible workarounds here, we decided it would be acceptable to document those for Beta - both for people who specifically want to test the graphical upgrade from F27 to F29, and those who just want to get from F27 to F29 *somehow* - but this should be fixed for the Final release. Thus it is accepted as a PreviousRelease blocker for Final, which means this must work in stable F27 by F29 release date.
