I think there was confusion regarding QE and the FTE server. The only requirement we've had is that changes in the servers code or availability be announced on imanage-qe-list@redhat.com.
I think the confusion was from the one time test day we hosted two weeks ago. I'm sure that updates have been made to the FTE server since the test day, possibly not the candlepin build itself, but I'm a little unclear how and why we're now being asked if we want the server updated.
Either way, I dont want QE holding up IT or the candlepin team. If you guys need to get something done, shoot from the hip. Just email us ;) Our preference would be to have FTE use the latest git tag, however I would not say its a requirement.
Hopefully this will clear up any confusion on our part, and get updates deployed faster. If we need to freeze updates to FTE in the future we will specifically ask for it. I'll make sure we're more clear once we're complete.
Thanks
