[rdo-list] Pike release preparation tasks in RDO

[Alfredo Moralejo Alonso]

Hi,

Pike release is approaching and we need the collaboration from RDO
contributors to get on time. Here you have an update of current status
of the preparation tasks for this new release:

- A new RDO Trunk builder is already running following stable/pike
branches of upstream projects and pike-rdo for distgits (with fallback
to master and rpm-master). The repos are available in
https://trunk.rdoproject.org/centos7-pike-bootstrap, we will move it
to https://trunk.rdoproject.org/centos7-pike soon.

  *Action*: if you have CI jobs or deployments that should keep using
packages from master branches, make sure they point to
https://trunk.rdoproject.org/centos7-master. If you want to
use packages from stable/pike branches, you can move them to
https://trunk.rdoproject.org/centos7-pike

- As most of you probably know, OpenStack upstream requirements
project was frozen last weekend [1].

  *Action*: package maintainers should send reviews updating packages
specs with requirements changed (updated, added or removed) during
Pike cycle. Once the spec files and distgit contents are ready for
pike release, maintainers can start requesting new branches pike-rdo
for distgits (see [2] for details).

If you have doubts about these tasks or any other question, don't
hesitate to contact us in #rdo or using this mailing list.

Best regards,

Alfredo
