You'd have to follow the directions from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/DevelFreezePolicy (which could change as we actually start using it more and more). Due to the way that I compose things from Koji, I create a "freeze" tag and do composes based on packages that are tagged with this. Any build done from devel/ will not get this tag automatically, it must be applied by a member of the release engineering team. Anything that did not get tagged will wind up in the next rawhide, when we open it up for 8. > Question 2: > If I want to make some new / exciting changes which might very well break > things, can I put those in CVS somewhere now, or should I wait till a F7 > cvs branch is created and only then commit these changes to the devel > branch.

Yes, continuing to do what you've done before is the best strategy for now. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
