More pkgdb2-related information

Dear all,

Here is some information regarding the consequences of deploying pkgdb2:

* The first and most annoying one is that PkgDB2 having a new API, it needs
a new packagedb-cli [1] which is necessary to have `fedpkg retire` working.
There is already a bug opened for it [2] but the solution is simply to
update your local packagedb-cli 

F20: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2014-6393/packagedb-cli-2.2-1.fc20
F19: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2014-6375/packagedb-cli-2.2-1.fc19
EL6: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2014-1418/packagedb-cli-2.2-1.el6

Note: packagedb-cli now provides a python interface for the pkgdb API
    ``import pkgdb2client`


* The second item is simply based on the observation that so far we have had
bug reports for pkgdb on the fedora-infrastructure trac, the bodhi trac as
well as the pkgdb2 project on fedorahosted and github.
If you could concentrate your bug reports to either of the two last ones it
would help getting our attention :)


* Finally, the form used in bugzilla to do SCM requests has been updated and
now asks for the `Upstream URL` to be specified next to the `Package Name`
and `Short Description`.
So the template for SCM request is now:

    New Package SCM Request
    =======================
    Package Name: 
    Short Description: 
    Upstream URL: 
    Owners: 
    Branches: 
    InitialCC: 

See [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_SCM_admin_requests for more
information and examples


Thanks for your help!
