[release] pungi 4.2.5

[Lubomír Sedlář]

Hello everyone,

a new version of Pungi is available. The 4.2.5 build is ready to be
used. There are updates pending for updates-testing repo.

These are the major changes:

 * A new compose type was added: development. It is meant for non-
   production versions of the compose. This requires python-productmd
> = 1.28, which has also been released today. 
 * Detection when
package set results from previous compose can be
   reused has been improved.
 * Ability to include modules in the compose by exact NSVC was added.
   This mimics existing functionality for RPMs and allows testing
   modules before they are tagged for the compose.
 * The pungi-patch-iso has been improved to allow customizing temporary
   directory.

And a couple of other smaller fixes.

Refer to the documentation [1] for details on what configuration
options are available.

Happy composing!

How does it differ from the 'test' type?

Test can be confusing sometimes: it could mean a test of the tools,
configuration or content. Development compose is meant to work
similarly to production composes, but it's not supposed to be shipped
anywhere.

The type has no effect on the content, it only changes the compose ID
to make it easier to distinguish parallel compose lines for the same
product.

Hope this helps,
Lubomír
