A prerelease platform on which to test + check packages. A full rebuild of everything listed in the releasepackages.lst list.

This is for RSE contributors/maintainers, not for end use / general distribution.

  1. You must install from fresh, no upgrades
  2. This (prerelease0.0.6) is a throwaway release - for hygiene reasons all (s)rpms built have the sgugprerelease0.0.6 moniker -> if we see end users with these packages - they are using the wrong packages!

So for a package not currently listed in releasepackages.lst that you want to "go" in 0.0.6 - check:

a) All the deps are already there (in 0.0.6) - if not, they need adding following the same process
b) The package builds satisfying the usual constraints (avoid force, nodeps etc)
c) The package has a testsuite or can be run and used successfully (the odd bug isn't a show stopper)

If the package meets the above criteria as-is - simply add it to the releasepackages.lst in wipnonautomated, and create a pull request targeting the 0.0.6 branch -> get someone to double check
If the package needs fixes, submit the changes as usual to wipnonautomated and verify it works there first before adding it to the list.

Edit: full install size =~ 2.1GiB
