= 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).

  * adjust mock-rpmfusion-{non,}free, rpmfusion-{non,}free-remix-kickstarts, smart to use proper mirror manager URL.

  * Push the said packages.

  * Adjust the symlinks for rawhide to point to the new rpmfusion-{,non}free-release and rsync with the primary mirror.
  
  * Reference the new gpg keys in the wiki.

 * Prepare a "RPM Fusion is ready for F X" announcement mail

= When Fedora release is finished =

 * 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 the frontpage Wiki. 
 
 * Update Configuration Wiki page.

 * Update Keys Wiki page.

 * Update mock-rpmfusion (the mock configurations fo rpmfusion).

 * check if rfpkg is working and check if mirrormanager was updated by Adrian and if mirrors are updated 

 * check if [[CommonBugs | CommonBugs - RPM Fusion ]] needs updates 

 * update bugzilla component version


= 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

== Fixme ==

Needs to be added to the proper places

 * update wiki:

  * installation notes

 * 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
}}}
