Hi, What is the difference among thos tags in the buildsystem web of Fedora http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji? There are 13 tags for Fedora 15,and I'm confused with the relationship among those tags.I know dist-f15-updates is inherited from dist-f15,and dist-f15-override is
inherited from dist-f15-updates.I what to know which package should goes to dist-f15-updates? In what situation, a package should goes to dist-f15-override but not dist-f15-updates? Where can I find some relevant docs?I'm new here. Thanks.

This is specific to Fedora's tag setup. Other folks know more about that than I, but I don't see a reply yet so...
dist-f15 is where the builds for the gold release of Fedora 15 live. Now that F15 is released, this tag should not change.
dist-f15-updates is where updates for F15 go. Builds are tagged here as part of the update process. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_update_HOWTO
dist-f15-override is used to hold builds that need to be in the buildroot for dependency reasons, but are otherwise there. Normally this happens when you have two interdependent updates. These get built in dist-f15-updates-candidate which does /not/ feed into the buildroot. Such buildroot overrides are managed by Bodhi http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bodhi/BuildRootOverrides
I what to know which package should goes to dist-f15-updates?
When the build is part of an update that goes live
In what situation, a package should goes to dist-f15-override but not dist-f15-updates?
When the build is needed in the buildroot but is not yet released. Normally such a build would eventually get into the -update tag, but it is possible that the update will fail testing and not be released, in which case (I presume) Bodhi would eventually remove it from the -override tag.
