Per the FESCO meeting today and a "go" from Core, the rebuild of Fedora Extras towards FC6 is scheduled to start on August 28, 2006. In a nutshell: * A "needs.rebuild" file will be committed to all active FE devel packages' devel branch in CVS on August 28. * Maintainers either 1) bump the EVR of their packages in the devel branch [0], rebuild them, and remove the needs.rebuild file, or 2) remove the needs.rebuild file with a commit message describing why the package will not be rebuilt. See link below for more info which packages are generally eligible for 2). * The timeframe for rebuilds is three weeks starting from Aug 28 -- the intention is that packages not taken care of before September 18 will be orphaned and will not ship in the FE6 repo until they're unorphaned. More info: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Schedule/FC6MassRebuild [0] When bumping the EVR, please make sure that it is greater than the one of the latest FE5 package so that we'll get sane FE5->FE6 upgrade paths; see the broken upgrade paths reports on fedora-extras-list. -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
