[Mageia-dev] Copying dependencies from Release to Updates Testing

[Samuel Verschelde]

Hi,

During yesterday's packager meeting, it was agreed that the sysadmins will 
provide a tool allowing packagers to copy packages from Release media to 
Updates Testing media.

QA Team should be able soon to ask the packagers to provide needed 
dependencies in Updates Testing so that updates are not blocked by 
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2317

Then those dependencies will have to be moved from Updates Testing to Updates, 
like the other packages submitted by the packagers for the update.

Could someone complete the update procedure wiki page with detailed 
instructions for packagers to follow, regarding how to identify dependencies 
that need to be copied to Updates Testing along with an update candidate ?

Until that tool is made available, we can list the needed dependencies in the 
bug report and ask the sysadmins to move them directly.

Best regards

Samuel Verschelde
