OK, here is the ticket I filed to rel-eng: https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5307 Now, I'm unsure on how to deal with the branch "master": should I keep it up-to-date even if it's related to Fedora 19? Or, instead, when updating the package, should I update only the branch "f17", excluding e

OK, thank you. Just another question. When I'll be updating those packages, what should I do? Should I push the changes only to the f17 branch on Git? Or should I push them to all branches anyway and only avoid requesting builds on Koji for the f18/f19 branches? 2012/8/26 Patrick Uiterwijk : > Dea

Dear M.M., Unblocking a blocked branch is just as easy as blocking: just creating a releng work ticket. Regards, Patrick On Aug 26, 2012 10:37 AM, "M.M." wrote: > OK, I've untagged the packages "zukini", "zukitwo" and "zukiwi" from > "f18-updates-candidate" and "f19" through "koji-untag-pkg -v

OK, I've untagged the packages "zukini", "zukitwo" and "zukiwi" from "f18-updates-candidate" and "f19" through "koji-untag-pkg -v --all f<18-updates-candidate/19> " (I couldn't untag them from "f18" since admin privileges are needed for that). When a version compatible with i.e. Fedora 18 or 19 is

Dear M.M., 1. You can untag them (koji untag-pkg) if the builds where made this day. If not, you'll need to get it blocked. For the f16/f18 branches, you can also just make sure not to add it to Bodhi, but I would suggest untagging them anyway. 2. Yes, they can block package for specific branches,

Hello M.M., As soon as you request the git repo, you will automatically get the devel (F19) branch. You could do two things: 1. Just make no builds for any other branches, then it won't get in there. 2. Request rel-eng to block the package for the devel branch. With kind regards, Patrick -- deve
