My only comment is I don't think we'd want to update aeolus in fedora
with every sprint end. People running aeolus from fedora (vs. from our
upstream releases) shouldn't have to upgrade every 3 weeks or so.
That said, it may be that the aeolus repo would still act as a "preview"
repo, but rather than mid-sprint updates (I don't think we have any
formal plan to update our packages any more frequently than once per
sprint), it would contain the end-of-sprint releases (and any additional
dependencies not yet in fedora).
Yeah, it definitely depends on how the 'updates' is expected to be used.
I agree, if end-of-sprint releases aren't planned for the 'updates'
repo, then 'preview' would be appropriate for those packages.
Thanks,
