Sorry for not being clear for the first time. My question is:
Do we have to tag the commit we want to deploy to staging (like 0.7.0-0.pre3), or are we able to do that without using tags (just building RPM from arbitrary commit ABC123 and installing)?
Because I don't really see the point in tagging pre-releases (it just clutters the view), if it is not required for the deployment process.
Oh I got confused. Git tagging is not needed for deployment to staging, but autoqa.spec bumping seems to be. Can we do it without bumping .spec version?
If I did a 'yum reinstall' instead of a 'yum update', sure. Another option would be to change the spec locally instead of pushing changes to the git repo.
I'm fine with either, though. The pre-release changes to the spec do seem rather noisy, though.
