Not discussed yet. I chose to not move those to stable that were totally new but for updates I was more lacy. I'd suggest this for the future: - brand new packages need to stay in testing for at least 4 weeks (maybe 6?) - we don't push any new packages to the testing repo one week before the next big testing -> stable move - we send a heads up to the maintainers next time during that week so maintainers have a chance to say "no, don't move foo to stable because of bug #foo" > Otherwise I could build any number of packages a few > hours before it gets mass moved into stable repository and those > packages wouldn't have any chance for testing and feedback. If you look at the report closer you'll notice that the packages that were in the needsign queue from plague before that push got moved into testing ;-) But yeah, but the whole process still needs a bit of testing and fine tuning :-) CU knurd _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
