F-11 to F-12 transition

[Federico Hernandez]

Now this might really be a newbie question but since I haven't maintained a
package that long yet I wonder how the transition now from F-11 to the
future F-12 works.

At what point can/must I check out a new CVS branch for F-12 of my package?
Will it be created automatically and all the packages in rawhide will move
by magic into F-12? Or do I need to request one via bugzilla?

Just wondering as I have never been around for this transition.

Greetings,

F-11 branched some time ago, and the current "devel" branch goes to
rawhide.  As the F-12 release date gets closer, you will first have
the option to request an F-12 branch (an announcement will be sent
when this happens) and then, a bit later, all packages will acquire an
F-12 branch (which will be accompanied by an announcement and some
downtime).  This happens much later in the release cycle, though;
nothing will happen for a few months.

THX for answering. Now I know.

Now as I see a f-12 branch in common/branches how do I request that
one - the normal way via the package's bugzilla entry from the
packaging request (which was this spring) or is there another way for
requesting the new branch for the new release?
