Usually there isn't any policy around how/when specific packages are updated in Fedora, it's up to the discretion of the maintainers. Some people push latest versions of their packages to every stable Fedora branch, others only rebase in rawhide, and everything in between. So I suggest talking to your co-maintainers about how they've done things, and go from there The main thing I'd think is to not rebase cloud-init too late into a Fedora dev cycle, so there's plenty of time to ensure the cloud images are in good shape (I don't know if the cloud images are ever regenerated after Fedora GA release). But I know very little about cloud-init... maybe it releases all the time, maybe it doesn't regress much, etc. - Cole _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/VLS2XTKAHFJI7WTKZQLFUGNX7WOH33LT/
