http://fedoraproject.org/PackageReviewStatus As of yesterday, 21% of Merge Review tickets have been touched.
Merge Review as Cleanup Sweep ============================= FESCO and Fedora Rel-eng have decided to treat the Merge Review as a package quality cleanup sweep. This means the Merge Review is not a blocker for the Fedora Merge. All Core packages will merge into the Fedora distribution when the infrastructure is ready regardless of their approval status.
Cleanup Sweep ============= Core package maintainers: - Please continue to follow your Merge Review tickets and check changes into your rawhide packages if they are technically sound. - After the ticket is flagged fedora-review+ approved, the package may be set to CLOSED RAWHIDE after the new binary package has been tested and verified.
http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers If disagreements occur between reviewers and package maintainers, please escalate the issue to fedora-maintainers list. fedora-maintainers is our public facing, by-invite-only development discussion list that is typically more focused than fedora-devel-list. All Red Hat package maintainers and engineers please subscribe to this list and I will approve you.
Merge Review Cleanup Ends at Fedora 7 Test4 =========================================== http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Schedule By the current schedule, this means April 16th. We will want to slow down the rate of churn at that point in order to ensure greater distribution stability. After this development freeze, please no longer include mere cleanups to the rawhide packages unless there is a REALLY GOOD REASON. Any exceptions to the development freeze may be permitted by standard release engineering procedures.
After Fedora 7 is released, Merge Review quality cleanups are to continue in rawhide.
