So... any comments to the concept? Any ideas about workflows or processes of managing the EOL values?

Looking forward to this but I would say the devil is in the details. Packagers are not necessarily programmers (I include myself in this camp) although I've learned to fix lots of build issues. Whatever the end result is, it needs to be well documented (wiki?) and supported by the tools. 

It always is. :-)

As a packager, what is your experience with lifecycles of your packages? Do you get a specific EOL date from the upstream? If not, at what circumstances you would retire an old version of a package? How do you decide when to go for a new version if there is any?

And don't worry, I'll make sure it's well documented.


I'm okay with having to create some sort of "control" file to say what Fedora releases should be built from a stream branch but there needs to be an easy template either cut and pasted from the wiki or that one of the packaging tools can produce.

We'll do our best. :-)
 

Thanks,
Richard
