Breaking development freeze SOP

Description

Packages which require an exception to freeze policies must be run through this SOP.

The following freeze policies are set for the following significant release milestones:

• Feature Freeze
• Alpha Freeze
• String Freeze
• Beta Freeze
• Final Freeze

See Important Release Milestones for a summary of all the freezes, dates, and exception handling.

Action

The commands to tag a package properly once it has been accepted:

$ koji move-pkg --force dist-f{{FedoraVersion}}-updates-candidate dist-f{{FedoraVersion}} <PKGNAME>
$ koji tag-pkg --force f{{FedoraVersion}}-<RELEASE> <PKGNAME>

Where <PKGNAME> is the package name, and <RELEASE> is the first release in which the package should land (e.g. beta, preview, final).

Verification

The koji client reports success or failure. For secondary verification, run these commands:

$ koji latest-pkg dist-f{{FedoraVersion}} <PKGNAME>
$ koji latest-pkg dist-f{{FedoraVersion}}-updates-candidate <PKGNAME>
