Breaking Development Freeze

FIXME: NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FEDORA-VERSION-NEXT

Description

Packages which require an exception to freeze policies must be run through this SOP.

The following freeze policies are set for the following significant release milestones:

See Fedora Release Life Cycle for a summary of all the freezes, dates, and exception handling, or the release engineering [https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-{{FedoraVersionNumber|next}}/f-{{FedoraVersionNumber|next}}-releng-tasks.html calendar for the current release].

Action

The commands to tag a package properly once it has been accepted:

$ koji move-pkg --force dist-f{{FedoraVersionNumber|next}}-updates-candidate dist-f{{FedoraVersionNumber|next}} <PKGNAME>
$ koji tag-pkg --force f{{FedoraVersionNumber|next}}-<RELEASE> <PKGNAME>

Where <PKGNAME> is the package name, and <RELEASE> is the first release in which the package should land (e.g. alpha, beta, final).

Verification

The koji client reports success or failure. For secondary verification, run these commands:

$ koji latest-pkg dist-f{{FedoraVersionNumber|next}} <PKGNAME>
$ koji latest-pkg dist-f{{FedoraVersionNumber|next}}-updates-candidate <PKGNAME>
