Spins Development and Release Cycle

  1. First, a spin is proposed.
  2. After review by the Spins SIG developers, it is included in the spin-kickstarts' custom/ directory
  3. Should the spin be released by and through the Fedora Project, Infra, QA and Rel-Eng together with the spin maintainer determine a feasible release schedule.

Spin Proposal

  1. A spin is proposed by submitting the kickstart for the new spin and a description to the Spins SIG. See also: Action Items for a new Spins Proposal
  2. For the person proposing the new spin, attendance at the next Spins SIG meeting is mandatory, or the new spin defaults to being rejected.

Spin Proposal: Action Items

  1. Include the kickstart in the spin-kickstarts repository, under the custom/ directory.
  2. Make the necessary changes to the Makefile.am, .spec.in, etc.
  3. Launch a livecd compose task against koji for the latest current release. (Note: rawhide may be too volatile for this item)
  4. Put a review task on the meeting agenda for the first upcoming Spins SIG meeting.
