Hello,
Fedora package review is always done for Rawhide, for good reasons. The created package repo only have branches rawhide and main. I finished the review, the package is now available in the Rawhide repos. All done and finished by the book.
rawhide
main
The question is - would it be OK if I now manually fork off the f42 branch and introduce the package into the stable Fedora release as well ?? Or would I break the Fedora Packaging Guidelines or it's philosophy by that?
f42
Use case: I introduced mysql8.4 into Rawhide. But I want to make it available in F42 too, so I can build a container out of it. But the s2i-base images I need for that are only done for stable Fedora releases, for security reasons.
mysql8.4
s2i-base
If it's non-conflicting and doesn't create problems for existing MySQL users, it's fine.
would it be OK if I now manually fork off the f42 branch...
Use fedpkg request-branch for that, please.
fedpkg request-branch
Done: https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/75009
Thanks
