It that exception automatic ? I thought it had to be explicitly
requested from FPC ? eg in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging_Committee#Review_Process_Exemption_Procedure
It says:
"The FPC can grant exceptions to the normal package review process.
This may happen, for instance, if a large number of similar packages
are being submitted at once or if a package is being updated to a
new major version while the old version is being kept in the
distribution with a different name.
..
Just file a ticket here, set the component to "Review Process Exception"
and explain (with detail) why you're requesting the exemption and the
committee will consider it in the next meeting. "
So gimp3 falls under the 2nd example documented there, but still sounds
like an FPC ticket was needed ?
The wiki is outdated. All documentation from FPC has been moved to docs.fp.o.
The exceptions are documented here:
These cases are treated as "automatically approved" and don't need package review nor FPC approval.
