Now this might really be a newbie question but since I haven't maintained a package that long yet I wonder how the transition now from F-11 to the future F-12 works.
At what point can/must I check out a new CVS branch for F-12 of my package? Will it be created automatically and all the packages in rawhide will move by magic into F-12? Or do I need to request one via bugzilla?
Just wondering as I have never been around for this transition.
Greetings, /Federico

F-11 branched some time ago, and the current "devel" branch goes to rawhide. As the F-12 release date gets closer, you will first have the option to request an F-12 branch (an announcement will be sent when this happens) and then, a bit later, all packages will acquire an F-12 branch (which will be accompanied by an announcement and some downtime). This happens much later in the release cycle, though; nothing will happen for a few months.

Now as I see a f-12 branch in common/branches how do I request that one - the normal way via the package's bugzilla entry from the packaging request (which was this spring) or is there another way for requesting the new branch for the new release?
