Well, it's called koji, not kojo.

The current 'stable' packages for a Branched release - that is, the last
build of a given package that was given the 'stable' tag, which is
always 'fXX', e.g. 'f21' for 21 - always live in development/(release),
so development/21. I don't know where you get the term 'current', it
isn't used by koji or Bodhi so far as I know. 'testing' packages -
packages with the 'f21-updates-testing' tag, that have been submitted
via Bodhi - live in updates/testing .

TCs and RCs do not use packages from updates/testing at all, so forget
about it, if you're trying to generate images that approximate the
'official' ones. But they *do* use packages from bleed:

http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mash/bleed/

because we like to pull in Blocker and FE bug fixes before they go all
the way through the Bodhi and mash process and show up in
development/21. bleed is the side repo into which Blocker/FE fixes that
are requested for a given TC/RC compose are put. So, when I do a TC/RC
compose here:

https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/6031

and say "Please pull (list of packages)", releng puts the packages from
that list into the bleed repository before they run the compose.

So, if you're trying to match the package set of the current TC/RC, the
repos for your compose should be 'fedora' (which is the 'stable' repo)
and bleed. Do not use updates-testing. You also will want to make sure
you have the f21 branch of spin-kickstarts, and try to use the git
commit that was the latest at the time the compose was run.
