When to move updates from testing to stable (was: Re: Move packages from testing to stable repos for F8 and F9)
Hi!
Seems a lot of people missed below part of a mail that I send to this
list a few days ago. At least nobody answered, which I think is a bit
astounding, as it's afaics a delicate topic...
So here is is again with a slightly different mail subject:

in the future?
The push scripts by default push everything to testing. That is IMHO a
good thing to do as default. But when to move packages to the proper
repos? Simply one week later by default? That would not be that hard to
do afaics.
Please note the "default" in above para. There are a lot of cases where
doing it differently makes sense; just two of them
- if the maintainer has good reasons for moving a package more quickly
or more slowly
- if there are interdeps with Fedora packages that packages will get
pushed or moved to the proper repos in sync if possible.
Note that I moved all the package to the stable repos yesterday, hence
all new packages from now on already get into the testing repos.
