Except this is not exactly correct ... this is not beta by industry
standards, but release candidate which will be left rottening for two
months before released and found completely useless (because 0day updates
will be probably again bigger than amount of packages people usually
install).
Case in question ... I am not allowed to fix bug https://
bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=520998, which I have filed some time
ago, watched that maintainer didn't do anything to it, finally after
discussing it with OpenSSL maintainer I have decided that upgrading to
the current stable version of the package makes a lot of sense, fixed the
spec so that it builds, build it ... and found that I cannot push it to
the bodhi, because I would need to humbly petition FESCO for permission
to fix a bug. And no I cannot swear that it won't break anything (it is
not my package after all), so I will just not bother, and let is slip for
anybody who cares to take care of it.
Er... your package is already in rawhide. You don't need to push it as a
bodhi update. So your use case is totally bogus because the change you
wanted to get into F-12 is already there:
[jwboyer@hansolo packages]$ koji latest-pkg dist-f12 pyOpenSSL
Build Tag Built by
---------------------------------------- -------------------- ----------------
pyOpenSSL-0.9-1.fc12 dist-f12 mcepl
[jwboyer@hansolo packages]$ koji latest-pkg f12-beta pyOpenSSL
Build Tag Built by
---------------------------------------- -------------------- ----------------
pyOpenSSL-0.9-1.fc12 f12-beta mcepl
Do we have somewhere real Rawhide (i.e., dist-f13) repos available now
when dist-f12 has been released? I don't want to upgrade from koji.
I have no idea what you are asking here.
