While I understand the mechanism, I think that this needs to be communicated more clearly. I've been a packager for close to 3 years now and I admit until I read this e-mail I wasn't quite sure whether "no updates after EOL" meant "you can't submit stuff to bodhi", or whether it meant "the updates repo is frozen solid, whatever didn't make it in, well shucks". (As we can see, it's the latter.)
This got me thinking - could we maybe make bodhi issue some kinda warning? Similar to how you get an e-mail when the package goes from pending to testing to stable, maybe bodhi could also give you a warning about impending EOL. Fedora packages need 7 days in testing (unless they get karma), and the pending->testing and testing->stable pushes take some time, so let's say 10 days - 10 days before EOL, bodhi stars adding a fat warning to the packages that says "better get that karma, 'cause if this ain't gonna make it to stable before YYYY-MM-DD, it'll go down the drain". _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
