Fedora 4.7.3 Release Candidate - 1

[Andrew Woods]

Hello All,
As a follow-up to the issue reported on the fedora-tech list [1] [2] related to namespace errors encountered when upgrading from Fedora 4.7.0 to either 4.7.1 or 4.7.2 (resulting in an inability to restart the Fedora server), we have isolated the cause and produced a Fedora 4.7.3 release candidate.

If you have run into this issue and have a backup of your 4.7.0 repository data, your help in verifying that the issue is resolved when performing the upgrade of your repository to the 4.7.3 release candidate is invaluable towards getting this release out as soon as possible.

The steps for reproducing the error are documented on the release candidate testing page:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/FF/Release+Testing+-+4.7.3?focusedCommentId=85529006#comment-85529006

There are several ways you can test this release candidate:
1) Download the one-click-run [3]
2) Download the war file to deploy into a servlet container with audit, webac, transform configured [4]
 
Please provide your feedback on the release testing page [5].
 
Regards,

Andrew
