In Core, our release update candidates do not autopopulate the buildroot. This is to protect our buildroot from being poisoned by potentially bad updates. They are treated as candidate updates and not entered into the buildroot until they are pushed as a stable update. There is an override tag that rel-eng can use to make a build temporarily available to build the rest of a stack for an update. I don't like the scenario at all and I'm welcome to ideas. Just self updating the buildroot seems like a bad idea to me and some of my colleagues who have been doing RHL/RHEL stuff for far longer than I have. Ideally we'd have a way to chainbuild things together in such a way that it doesn't poison the rest of the buildroots for that tag, basically making them available for your build and your build alone. I honestly don't know what kind of work it would take to get this though. Anyway I'm open for discussion. I went forward with what Core developers are used to, and I hoped I had warned people but it probably got lost. I would love to discuss it at a rel-eng meeting, we ran out of time last week. For now, you can request buildroot overrides by mailing 'rel-eng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'. What place in the wiki should this information go? -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
