I am not sure what is going to happen with Spins SIG for F15, but if it
ends up being similar to this cycle, I think we need to do the spin-kickstarts
builds (for alpha and beta as well) and the branch about 8 days eariler
(relative to the freezes).

This gives time for the updated package to get through testing and end up
on the media without having to scramble to get testers.

I had planned to ping you folks about the package today, just to make
sure that a build was in the pipeline.

I will probably have one in testing tonight. There was an issue with the
nightly composes a few days ago, that Kevin thinks he has fixed, but I want
to see another nightly compose run before doing the branch and package build.
(So that multiple things aren't changing at once.)

Note that there is already a plan to do an update to the package shortly
after the release if any of the ks files in the (soon to be created)
F14 branch changes during the freeze. Given this, I don't think it is a
big deal to release without the latest ks updates in the package. (There
have been some changes since beta.)

Desktop might be oversize, but since the size changed at the same time as
the builds starting failing for some other spins, I am hoping that was
also caused by the problem with the copy of the git repo on the machine
that does the composes.

Releasing the final release without the kickstarts used in it goes
against the spirit of the GPL.  It would be best if we can coordinate it
so that the package in the compose is the kickstarts used for the compose.

OK. I'll modify the plan a bit. I'll do the branch and generate a new
package tonight even though the new nightly composes haven't shown
up yet. In theory they should continue OK using master until Kevin gets
a chance to switch over.

There is also an issue with the repo directives. Most of building tests
override them to use local mirrors and the error was caught recently.
I want to take a quick look of fixing that for people wanting to do
one off builds.

I branched spin-kickstarts (now there is an F-14 for this release).
I have a new spin-kickstarts package pending for testing.

As long as things get better when the next nightly compose is done with an
uncorrupted checkout we should be fine. If Live Desktop is stays oversize
then we may need to do an update. (Or if any spins are found to be
seriously broken.)
