#3398 Question: Adding new package to stable Fedora releases
Closed: Accepted by mschorm. Opened by mschorm.

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.

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?

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.


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.

Done:

Thanks
