Fwd: [CentOS-devel] [SIG Process] Point-Release Freeze of SIG Content while CR is Active

FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brian Stinson <brian(a)bstinson.com&gt; Date: 2018-04-17 15:30 GMT+02:00 Subject: [CentOS-devel] [SIG Process] Point-Release Freeze of SIG Content while CR is Active To: centos-devel(a)centos.org Hi Folks, At the CBS meeting yesterday we discussed a proposal to freeze the Sign and Push-to-mirror processes during the period between when CR is active and a point release. https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2018-April/016610.html You may recall that we did something similar for 7.1708 We need to Freeze because we make CR content available in CBS for builds, and in CI for testing purposes. But, releasing content built against CR to mirror.centos.org would have had some unintended consequences (e.g. we don't want to require that end-users enable CR to get content from the SIGs). The Point-release Freeze does not affect content moving from the testing tags in CBS to buildlogs.c.o, that will continue to show up as it is built. Do note: since we do want to give testers and developers an opportunity to build and test against an upcoming point-release before it goes GA, content coming from buildlogs.centos.org may require enabling the CR repo. Any new requests for sign+push (adding new tags to mirror.c.o) during Point-release Freeze will be held until the point release goes GA. We approved this as part of the CR checklist during the meeting yesterday, and will include another note about this in the CR release announcement. https://www.centos.org/minutes/2018/April/centos-devel.2018-04-16-14.00.html If there are any questions, please let us know and discuss here on the list.
