Okay, a refinement of my point but with references to the F-13 schedule
to make this more concrete:
2010-02-09 - Feature Freeze/Branch F13 from rawhide
At this point, we create an f13-branch off master, and
an f13-alpha-branch off that one. Bugs marked as
F13Alpha get committed here, builds for Fedora 13 come
from here. Stuff that needs to go in for F13 but is
not alpha worthy goes onto f13-branch. New development
and all other bug fixes continue on master.
2010-02-16 - Alpha Freeze
Create an f13-beta-branch. The only things that get
committed to f13-alpha-branch are blockers found in testing
candidate trees. F13Beta blockers get committed to
f13-beta-branch. Builds for Fedora 13 come from
f13-alpha-branch. Stuff that needs to go in for F13 but is
not beta worthy goes onto f13-branch. New development and all
other bug fixes continue on master.
2010-03-02 - Alpha Release
f13-alpha-branch is dead.
2010-03-23 - Beta Freeze
Create an f13-rc-branch. The only things that get committed
to f13-beta-branch are blockers found in testing candidate
trees. There shouldn't be any bugs that are important but
can be put off from beta to RC. However if there are,
those get committed to f13-rc-branch. Builds for Fedora 13
come from f13-beta-branch. New development and all other
bug fixes continue on master.
2010-04-06 - Beta Release
f13-beta-branch is dead.
2010-04-29 - Compose Release Candidate
Up to somewhere around this date, blockers continue getting
committed to f13-rc-branch, and builds for Fedora 13 come
from this branch. Very little activity at all should be
happening here.
2010-05-11 - Fedora 13 Final Release
f13-rc-branch is dead. f13-branch should reflect what was
released, and may continue on to be used by Fedora Unity
or similar purposes.
