Hi all,
It's that time of the year again -- F20 is going into the Alpha freeze
tomorrow and new builds will have to go through Bodhi for verification.
The GNOME 3.9.91 release is coming as well, with a bit unfortunate
timing wrt. Fedora freezes. In any case, we'll handle the GNOME 3.9.91
builds together and file them as a single megaupdate in Bodhi.
There's a separate koji build target for the 3.9.91 builds and the
magical invocation is 'fedpkg build --target f20-gnome'. We're also
going to use the same spreadsheet system as previously, so if you want
builds to be included in the megaupdate, 1) use the f20-gnome build
target, and 2) list the builds in
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtzJKpbiGX1zdGJzeU9waFJFZmgy...
Thanks!

Could we have avoided this conflict by scheduling better in advance?

Depends on when the planning has been done but given that the gnome
schedule is rather predicable yes.

We might have been able to do slightly better, because GNOME schedules
are published in advance and set pretty much in stone. In the end, it's
hard to plan for this though because we tend to slip often with Fedora
(there has already been a two-week adjustment to F20 schedule:
https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1095#comment:12)
What really matters is to have the final releases of Fedora and GNOME
roughly in sync (by the way, thanks for everyone involved for making the
shorter F20 schedule work!). It's not much of a problem if there are
small scheduling issues with Alpha / Beta releases, as long as the final
Fedora release doesn't come too late after a GNOME release.
I think what's happening now is perfectly fine: GNOME release arrives a
day or two after Fedora freeze, we package everything up quickly and if
it's good, include it as a freeze exception. If it's problematic, leave
it for after freeze.
There's some small annoyances involved, but slipping the whole Fedora
just to wait for GNOME 3.9.91 wouldn't be a worse solution, in my opinion.

I usually try to align with GNOME when creating schedule but it's hard to
get completely in sync. For F20, it was pretty much constrained by FESCo
request to release in November and we are moving target sometimes. What's
important is that final GNOME lands in time for final Fedora as Kalev
pointed out. Even after freeze, we try to get latest GNOME bits into
the compose, so it gets tested and QA is usually ok with that (doing
smoke compose and getting it a bit spin).
Btw. important releases are always part of [1].

GNOME 3.9.91 builds are now done and made it in right before the Alpha
freeze last night. Bodhi wasn't enabled yet so they made it directly
to the base F20 repo, and are available in today's F20 compose.
CC-ing Tim Flink: unfortunately, latest TC3 images were spinned based on
last night's compose and GNOME 3.9.91 is only in today's. Could you guys
request a new TC please?
Thanks,
Kalev
