Marco, Dennis, and I talked this afternoon and evening about how to
arrange our Koji tags for the 8.2.0 release. Assuming no serious
objections are raised by either you or the Fedora infrastructure and
release-engineering teams, we will take the OLPC-3 [1] CVS branch,
freeze the dist-olpc3 tag, and create dist-olpc3-{devel,testing,updates}
and dist-olpc4 tags.
[1]: OLPC-3 represents our third buildroot. Buildroots contain the
compilers and basic system libraries necessary to build other
packages.
+ dist-olpc3-devel - the site of ongoing development.
By default, your packages will be built into this tag.
(If we find it helpful in the future, we can create some tags like
dist-olpc3-devel-sugar or dist-olpc3-devel-wireless to separate
unrelated streams of development. We'll cross that bridge when we
come to it.)
+ dist-olpc3-testing - things that are ready for QA.
Will be used by the OLPC release team [2] to generate builds
suitable for consumption by QA.
[2]: (Currently yours truly; please contact me for exciting volunteer
and employment opportunities.)
+ dist-olpc3-updates - things that pass QA.
When we need to roll release candidates, we'll do so by snapshotting
dist-olpc3-updates. For example, when we get ready to release 8.2.0,
we'll produce a tag like dist-olpc3-8.2.0. (Maybe with an rc<N>
attached?)
+ dist-olpc4 - Rawhide tracker + buildroot experimentation
Will contain any OLPC-specific changes needed to make Rawhide-based
builds. Will also be suitable for buildroot experimentation.
Eventually, if this works out, we'll add
dist-olpc4-{devel,testing,updates} and dist-olpc5.
Questions? Complaints? Pet peeves?
