Comment (by till):
There was some confusion about what we want to do. So here is a more
detailed proposal:
Initially we need a repository that is enabled by default enabled on
user's systems, so the packages can bypass updates-testing. However since
some testing might still make sense, It might make sense to also create a
-testing repository that is disabled by default. This also has the benefit
to allows easily testing whether the fast distribution repo setup still
works by adding builds to the -testing repo. So the setup would then be:
- add two new tags and repos, e.g. fXY-fast-updates and FXY-fast-updates-
testing
- sign the builds then tag the builds manually
- react on the tag events via fedmsg and copy the RPMS, run createrepo and
sync the output
- untag builds after they are tagged for 7 days via run
Missing items:
Updateinfo from bodhi with security meta info: IMHO ok to not have it
initially, because it still makes the situation better. Also e.g. for the
bash update, the info was missing in Bodhi as well, so it is not critical.
