We are trying to track down the duplication and make canonical linkings.
The branch freeze happens at the branch event, which is a week after
Feature freeze. It's no longer an "Alpha Freeze" per se, because the
tree remains "frozen" even after alpha.
So how is the package set determined that builds the Alpha release? Is
it everything which is pushed to F13 in Bodhi for 2010-02-24 at 20:00
UTC, which is the time of the GO/NOGO meeting? Or is the Alpha release
first composed and then it is decided, whether it will be synced to the
mirrors?
Unfortunately we're going to have some rough times with
documentation as
most of the documentation in the wiki isn't updated for how things work
with no frozen rawhide, but we're working on it. If you find more
places that need updating, please add them to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/No_frozen_rawhide_announce_plan thanks!
I added the differences between the F13 Schedule and the key milestones
there.
