About 10 to 14 days before estimated Fedora release

• open freeze: tell packagers to only build packages if there is a strong reason to
• check more aggressively for broken deps and broken packages to make sure they get fixed

When final fedora-release got built and published

• Add aliases to mirrormanager; once done
• build final rpmfusion-{non,}free packages to for release in question where the release and updates repo are enabled, but development disabled; generate a new rawhide key and include it as well;
• Verify that every packages got signed with the proper release key. Resign packages that are not (such the one that are inherited).
  • Push the said packages.
  • Adjust the symlinks for rawhide to point to the new rpmfusion-{,non}free-release and rsync with the primary mirror.

When RPMFusion release is finished (updated in 2025)

• remove all packages that are known to be broken
• remove all packages that have broken deps
• remove all *-kmod-src.rpm packages from the repos; at the same time rebuilt all kmod packages and make sure akmods packages get built
• mkdir releases/X; cp -al development/X/Everything
• create empty updates{,-testing} repos
• update wiki:
  • Update the frontpage Wiki.
  • Update Configuration Wiki page.
  • Update Keys Wiki page. (Reference the new gpg keys in the wiki.)
• Update mock-rpmfusion (the mock configurations fo rpmfusion).
• check if rfpkg is working
• check if mirrormanager was updated by Adrian and if mirrors are updated

• check if CommonBugs - RPM Fusion needs updates

• update bugzilla component version
• Prepare a "RPM Fusion is ready for F X" announcement mail

branching

First bunch

Something like 0 to 14 days before release branch cvs:

• add line for new release in CVS at {non,}free/common/branches (leave the devel entry as it is)
• create and add new mock config files to all builders; let them use rawhide (as the directories for the new release is not there yet) temporary as there are no updates repos yet
• create amnd add target files for plague-builders and restart them; then create and add target files for plague-server and restart them
• some more steps on the CVS box that only Xavier knows
• Branch in CVS:

for j in free nonfree; do for i in /cvs/${j}/rpms/*/devel/*.spec,v ; do packagename=$(basename $(dirname $(dirname ${i}))); if [[ -e /cvs/${j}/rpms/"${packagename}"/dead.package ]]; then echo "${packagename} seems to be a dead.package, but contains a spec file" >&2; else echo /usr/local/bin/mkbranchwrapper-${j} ${packagename} F-12; fi ;read -t 2 -s -n 1 ; done; done &> log

• adjust config files for push scripts and test the scripts; wun WhatsNew.py once with each config

Second part

When new release is out and rawhide is rolling towards the next release again:

• finally adjust the dist release in CVS at {non,}free/common/branches
• adjust dist tag and release version in mock config files of all builders
• adjust config files for new release to point to new directories instead of rawhide
• build a new release rpm that has rpmfusion-rawhide enabled and stock repos disabled
• Resign early the packages in rawhide with new key.
• add target for new release in bugzilla

When RPMFusion branch is finished (updated in 2025)

• update wiki:
  • Update the frontpage Wiki.
  • Update Configuration Wiki page.
  • Update Keys Wiki page. (Reference the new gpg keys in the wiki.)
• Update mock-rpmfusion (the mock configurations fo rpmfusion).
• check if mirrormanager doesn't miss last stable branch and if mirrors are updated

Fixme

Needs to be added to the proper places

• recreate repoview with proper title:

  for i in */{os,SRPMS}/ ; do cd ${i}; repoview -f -s ../../source/SRPMS/ -t "RPM Fusion (Fedora - nonfree - released) 12 ($(dirname ${i}))" . ; cd - ; done
  # alternate:
  repo=free ; release=14; for i in */{os,debug,SRPMS}/ ; do cd ${i}; /usr/bin/createrepo -q -d --unique-md-filenames --changelog-limit=8 -s sha256 . ;  repoview -f -s ../../source/SRPMS/ -t "RPM Fusion (Fedora - ${repo} - released) ${release} ($(dirname ${i}))" . ; cd - ; done
