Breaking development freeze SOP

Description

Release Engineering has freeze policies for each major release milestone:

• Feature Freeze Policy (One week before Feature Freeze)
• Alpha Freeze Policy
• String Freeze Policy (Same time as Alpha Freeze)
• Final/Beta Freeze Policy

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

Action

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

koji move-pkg --force dist-f40-updates-candidate dist-f40 <PKGNAME>
koji tag-pkg --force f40-<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 does report success or failure. To verify, however, run these commands:

koji latest-pkg dist-f40 <PKGNAME>
koji latest-pkg dist-f40-updates-candidate <PKGNAME>

Considerations

Refer to the development freeze policy for additional considerations. In particular, the freeze exception must be approved.
