Bug ID: 1596438 Summary: Missing `fedpkg request-branch` Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: packager-guide Assignee: pkovar@redhat.com Reporter: amahdal@redhat.com QA Contact: docs-qa@lists.fedoraproject.org CC: pkovar@redhat.com
Description of problem ======================
In Join_the_package_collection_maintainers, the step "Import, commit, and build your package" is directly followed by "Update Your Branches (if desired)", and "Submit Package as Update in Bodhi".
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers?rd=Pa...
However the step "update branches" cannot succeed, since branches are not created automatically. Sure, this step is optional, but even opting out, the next step about Bodhi won't be valid, because pushing master to Bodhi is not allowed.
Easiest fix would be to add command such as `fedpkg request-branch f28`, as I've been advised on mailing list and IRC:

One more note: to new packager, it's not clear if they should "desire" to update/push to new branches; because new packager might not expect this (adding new package to already released branch) to be allowed by policy. It would be nice to give a hint to the packager on this.
