Making the merge happen

[Jesse Keating]

Test4 is out, Final looms, must have merge!

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/CoreExtrasMerge is the working 
page for the merge status.  I would like to get merged asap and shake out the 
problems and get some builds done before the final freeze.

Please provide input!

I noticed a comment in a merge-related gstreamer-plugins-good bug (post merge 
rebuild needed to pick up some extra deps) that this rebuild would be 
postponed. I think this would be a pity. Said rebuild will not introduce any 
changes to existing plugins, but only add a few new ones. Some of which are 
quite usefull like shoutcast support.

Couldn't this just be released as an update post F7? It seems pretty low
risk...

Here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=Merge 
is a tracker bug for desktop-related things that wait for the merge.
Most of them will probably have to wait until after final and go
out as updates, since they are pretty much by definition about 
adding features to core packages, and thus incompatible with the
ongoing freeze.

Just a small question: Regarding SRPMS directory structure beneath 
"updates",  is there a reason why it is NOT placed under "source" 
directory ("updates/6/SRPMS"    instead of  "updates/6/source/SRPMS")

like those of "development" and "release" tree structures 
("development/source/SRPMS" and  "6/source/SRPMS")?

Mostly because the use of source/SRPMS in the other locations is because we 
also have isos of source so there is source/iso and source/SRPMS.  We could 
use the same structure, but there would be no iso/ directory so it seemed odd 
to have another directory level with nothing in it.
