When I was in a similar situation around the F37 branch point, releng told me that while it would be *possible* for them to tag builds into f38, it is possibly ill-advisable, for some of the reasons Petr mentioned here, but also, the packages will get signed with the f37 key and not the f38 key, which will create another set of problems down the line. Iñaki, do you have a list of packages that still needs to be rebuilt for f37? I have provenpackager rights and could handle those builds for you, if you give me - name of the side tag - packages that still need to be rebuilt - which order they need to be built in (or at least how to determine an order) - what changelog message / commit message to use for the dist-git commits And for rawhide / f38, I'd need the same, but the list of *all* packages that need to be built, not only the ones that are still missing from f38. I'll probably write a short script to handle the actual task and let it run in the background today. Sorry for not volunteering earlier, but I'm already at my limits wrt/ time I can spend on Fedora.
