I think that we should first understand how packages go from testing
to stable. Who controls the process?
The ones that have access to the master repos, the push scripts and the
signing keys. That right now only me; Xavier doesn't yet have access to
the keys -- I didn't get around to do that, sorry. There are also some
push script locking issues that mschwendt pointed out; those should get
fixed, otherwise there is a risk that different people try to push at
the same time which could skrew things up.
How can a package maintainer
choose to issue a release to stable in a faster way (e.g. a security
update)?
Send me a mail or ping me on IRC.
How can a package maintainer choose not to issue a release to
stable (e.g. a beta release)?
Send me a mail or ping me on IRC.
IIRC we should follow Fedora as closely as possible. But again I
think
that having that infrastructure in place won't be an easy task.
Exactly :-/
