Quick question,
how do rel-eng guys know which updates are OK to push to stable
during freeze and which are not? For example we have the final freeze
now. Some packages like this:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-14932 are needed
to be pushed to stable repo, so they have an exception from the
freeze. Blocker and NTH updates have also exception from the freeze.
But other packages may be also requesting push to stable and not be
eligible for an exception. How do the rel-eng guys know which
packages to push and which not to?
QA files a ticket for each compose before it's made (ie, "we need
another RC" or 'We need another TC'). In this ticket are listed the
updates that are needed to be allowed into stable or used for the
compose.
So for example:
