<PRE>Le mardi 19 avril 2011 &#224; 11:29 +0200, Anne nicolas a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i> Hi there
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> 2 reminders:
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> - version freeze is planned tomorrow. please upload pending work
</I>
as said during the meeting, version freeze is in effect.

So if you need to upload a new version of a rpm, instead of typing
'mgarepo submit', you should send a new email here, with &quot;&quot;Freeze push
request: $package&quot; so we can see the package. 

The exception should be motivated :
- upgrade to stable if we ship a rc version ( like gnome-terminal -
- upgrade if we are sure this is a bugfix only release ( if possible
with link to the bugfixes ), for example stable release of postgresql
- upgrade if it fixes a bug that is important, if possible reported on
our bugzilla ( even if it add some features )
- upgrade for a security issue


What would be likely refused : 
 - upgrade that requires to recompile half of the distribution
 - upgrade &quot;just in case&quot; 
 - upgrade to a rc version or too new version 
 - upgrade because &quot;it was published during the meeting and my rabbit
chewed my ethernet cable so I could not submit in time&quot; 
 - upgrade without explanation
 - upgrade with insufficient chocolate to bribe us

One of the people who can submit ( listed on
<A HREF="http://svnweb.mageia.org/adm/puppet/modules/buildsystem/templates/submit-todo.conf?revision=1552&amp;view=markup">http://svnweb.mageia.org/adm/puppet/modules/buildsystem/templates/submit-todo.conf?revision=1552&amp;view=markup</A> , seek authorized_users ) will then submit it, or tell why it is refused ( or simply forget to answer ). 

Feel free to harass people on irc ( except for me )

New package are not affected by version freeze, so you can still upload
them for now.


Release freeze will be  the same with uploading a package with a
different release ( ie, almost all packages ) is planned for 10/05, ie
around 3 weeks. No new rpm will be uploaded for that.
