Yes, remote branch names are changing, we are removing the "/master", simplifying to just "f15". > Will this > be untouched, but working on a feature branch, say > "f15-my-cool-new-feature", will allow me to push builds to koji (say > "dist-f15-updates-canditate" as default) by using $ fedpkg build? Right now you can call your local branch whatever you want. If it tracks the origin/f15 then it will submit builds to dist-f15-updates-candidate. As far as remote branch name, currently fedpkg will only match with base branch names, eg "f15" or "f15/master". Attempts to build from "f15-my-cool-new-feature" would result in a prompt to use the --dist flag to clarify which distribution you wish to build for. > >> My plan is to let this version go through -testing and into stable for a >> period of time (week~?) and then do the conversion on the live repos. >> During the time this update is in -testing and stable I invite anybody >> who is willing to help me verify that things will be ready for the >> switch.

I have yet to run the conversion script on the stg server again, so there has been no change on those branch names. Once I do change it you can adjust the url defined in the /usr/lib/python*/site-packages/pyfedpkg/__init__.py file. Those that contact me wishing to test I will coordinate with and provide a helping hand. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
