The release of the first alpha for Fedora 13 has been delayed by a week, in order to “verify blocker bug fixes and validate new builds of software necessary to fix those bugs,” according to Fedora Project spokesperson Jesse Keating, adding in an official mailing list post: “We will spend the next few days doing that validation. In the mean time builds will continue to be pushed to updates-testing for 13, and even to 13 stable, however critical path packages might not be pushed unless they are fixing a release blocking issue.”

Sponsored by Red Hat, Fedora is free community-driven Linux operating system.

The developers are confident that the problems will be resolved; however they were doubtful that the problems will be fixed prior to the 2 March release date. Since Fedora is tied to Tuesday release dates, Fedora 13 will aim for a 9 March release.

This is unlikely to upset Fedora’s faithful, as they have become accustomed to the reliability that the Fedora operating system can offer, and are willing to make such sacrifices to maintain a community-driven system.
