So we're less than a week away from F7, so why not completely change the way updates are pushed? :)

We're going to use mash[0] to compose our updates repo instead of managing it by hand. This removes the burden of multilib, repo-cleaning, and dep closure checking from bodhi.

This means that we need to change the push process to be something like:

- Move all submitted builds from dist-f7-updates-candidate to dist-f7-updates-testing in Koji - Run mash - Add/remove appropriate updates from updateinfo.xml and insert it into all of the repodata - Sync out to wallace, which will sync to the mirrors

In theory, this should do the trick.

The roadmap[1] to 1.0 should be fairly accurate now. So what we have left, aside from the new push process mentioned above, is:

- ACLs. We need to make sure that all updates are submitted by the appropriate {,co-}maintainers. - Package signing stuff. Jesse pointed me to the sign_unsigned tool[2] that we could potentially integrate with to help do this.

I won't be able to start hacking on this until monday, as I am graduating tomorrow and then moving on Sunday, so any help would be appreciated :)
