I think that the documentation is right and should be honored.
For the audience - the documentation is here:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Updates_Policy/#philosophy
Updates in stable should be exception, if there really is no other
option.
Yup. It is even documented there:
"Some classes of software will not fit in these guidelines. If your package does not
fit in one of the classes below,
but you think it should be allowed to update more rapidly, propose a new exception class
to FESCo and/or request an
exception for your specific update case."
I have to make confession. I am breaking this guidelines too. With releasing of new
version of Mock and
fedora-license-data. The problem for me is that the list of these exception is not
available and not maintained. I
inherited Mock from Clark and later gave it to Pavel and I am now merely co-maintainer. So
I really do not know if Mock
has had the exception. And because no one enforce it I even did not apply for the
exception for fedora-license-data and
I use common sense, becase it does not have sense to have old data in stable branches.
> Does anyone else feel like the documentation should be updated,
or am I making too much of this?
+1 to update documentation. Or even better, document which packages has the exception. And
later ask QE to create tool
which will warn if packages outside of this list bump up version.
