new non-Fedora releases. There is no rigid process of getting the releases to websites. The process now is I put up a new release and ping dgilmore to compile it. He then, when he has time, compiles it and puts it somewhere and notifies websites to pull it or he puts it there himself.
I think changing "ping dgilmore" to "file a ticket with rel-eng" would be an improvement. Not that Dennis doesn't do a bunch of stuff -- in fact, exactly because he does, a ticket will help keep it from getting lost.
Ideally, we'd have something so you could trigger the build automatically, but I can see the work/reward of that being low if this is infrequent.
For example for 4.0.8 which was released about a week ago there has been no activity yet - meanwhile, f25 package is already stable.
A week and waiting for the F25 package to go stable seems fine in most cases - but we'd want it to be much faster in the event of a serious bugfix.
All I can do is ping the people over and over and hope one day the version get pushed there. There is very limited feedback in regards to what the status is now, if it compiles and there is no testing besides mine.
A ticket will help, yeah.
And there needs to be a step in between "build made and available for download $somewhere" and "build pushed to web server" where QA can do the QAing.
