Spec files and other packaging specific data *must* reside in Fedora Dist-Git: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_spec_maintenance_and_canonicity Spec files in upstream repos is up to the upstream, but Fedora infrastructure cannot access them and cannot rely on them. > What is the Fedora policy on distributing pre-release software like release > candidates for a new major release?

Betas or RCs are fine in my book if they work reasonably well. They can be updated to final as a post-GA update. Unlike a lot of distributions, Fedora makes it pretty easy to ship updates throughout the life of a distribution release, so it's not really that much of a worry. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ Pulp-dev mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pulp-dev
