Description Alois Mahdal 2018-07-09 10:24:37 UTC
Context
=======

I'm a new packager.  It has been 7 days since I did the last step in Join_the_package_collection_maintainers[1] document.  That is, the package has been waiting in Bodhi but Bodhi now added this comment:

> This update has reached 7 days in testing and can be pushed to stable now if the maintainer wishes

so I wanted to push the package to stable but I'm not sure if I should do anything.  What I've noticed:

 *  What seems to be the most relevant action button reads "Push to Batched".
 *  The Autopush is on.
 *  Status is still `testing`.

At this point, the Batched/Stable distinction is unclear to me, and I'm not sure if I should do anything.

I read the other linked document, Package_update_HOWTO[2], does not mention "batched" or "autopush" at all, so it does not answer these questions for me.

Proposal
========

Add link or section in the Join_the_package_collection_maintainers document that explains the Bodhi part of the workflow.  Alternatively, link the update_states.html[3] somewhere.

This Bugzilla component is for a Fedora packagers guide, now retired, and not for wiki issues, so please go ahead and make your changes in the wiki directly, unless there is a special policy requiring discussion first.
