Greetings. For many years Fedora Infrastructure has hosted a collaborative editor server based on the 'sobby' server/protocol. We have finally finished upgrading this service to use the new 'infinote' server/protocol, and it's ready for community use.

Fedora 23 Final Freeze
by Dennis Gilmore 13 Oct '15

13 Oct '15

Hi all, Today is an important day on the Fedora 23 schedule[1], with a significant cut-offs. Today is the Final Freeze[2]. This means that only packages which fix accepted blocker or freeze exception bugs[3][4] will be marked as 'stable' and included in the Final composes. Other builds will remain in updates-testing until the Final release is approved, at which point the Final freeze is lifted and packages can move to the 'updates' repository, pending updates will be pushed before final release as zero day updates. Regards Dennis [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/23/Schedule [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Milestone_freezes [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process [4] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process

SCM processing changes for new packages and branches
by Kevin Fenzi 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

Greetings, For the entire history of Fedora adding new packages, requesting new branches for existing packages and other similar requests have been done via copying and pasting a template into a bugzilla bug, where it was scraped by a script to process the requests. With recent additions to pkgdb2, we are now able to replace this error prone and manual process. I've created: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageDB_admin_requests with further information. Basically requests now can be made directly in pkgdb (optionally pulling information from bugzilla). We have modified our processing script that checks for requests in bugzilla to make a note about the new process and unset the old fedora-cvs flag. Note: The new process remains manual for new packages, so there will still be a delay between when you make the request and when it is processed for them. FMN will announce you when the request is processed and the branch is created. Please let us know at: https://github.com/fedora-infra/pkgdb2/issues or https://fedorahosted.org/pkgdb2/ if you run into any issues with the process. kevin
