That's a good question. I assume we use the process we used for 8.1, which is that you create a trac bug naming the exact package you want and the reason for its inclusion, and assign it to ApprovalForUpdate. When Michael et al approve it, they assign it to me to pull into the stable repository. (This is documented on the wiki somewhere, but my internet access is poor at the moment. Maybe Michael can help.) I just fixed joyride this morning to pull from the dist-olpc3-devel tag in koji, fixing the issues we've had since the koji tags were reconfigured. If we use the Fedora process, there's a progression from dist-olpc3-devel to -testing to -updates, and you'd assign packages to the stable 8.2 branch by tagging them for -testing -- presumably after the same ApprovalForUpdate process. If I understand correctly, dist-olpc3-updates would be used only for 'released' builds, so moving from -testing to -updates would be a mostly-bookkeeping operation performed as part of the formal release of 8.2. In the same spirit, dist-olpc3-devel should be used only for packages which are *candidates* for 8.2, and the start of 9.1-related work should happen on dist-olpc4-devel. Perhaps 'faster' can be reopened on that branch for the time being. But all this is rather disruptive, and I'm not convinced it's an appropriate time to make the shift to the 'Fedora way'. My gut feeling would be to defer this until 9.1. In that case, I'd continue building the stable release for 8.2 from the git repo on http://mock.laptop.org/repos, which I'll manually add packages to as they are requested.
