Please make corrections and clarifications to the wiki page.

== Spam-o-matic for rawhide ==
  * the tool that generated the broken deps report at the end of the old 
rawhide emails
  * DECISION:
     * notting is going to get 'spam-o-matic' working for rawhide 
reports again
     * including a full report of broken deps at the bottom of rawhide 
report mails like before the merge, and specific individual mails to 
maintainers with broken deps.
  * f13 will let mike schwendnt know that this is coming.

== Updates policy ==
  * DECISION:
    * rel-eng is proposing to FESCo that Update tool defaults to pushing 
to updates-testing
    * Maintainer has option to "skip testing" and can do so without an 
"approver" roadblock.
    * UPdate gets marked as "hot" somehow visually so that releng / qa 
can look over before pushing if necessary

== Signing unsigned 7 packages ==
  * DECSISON:
    * To do some final Fedora 7 tree maintenance, replace unsigned 
packages with signed versions
    * chmod 644 all the files (not dirs).
    * Test with cached yum metadata to see what happens, push to mirror 
master, alert mirrors.
    * Leave the i486/586/686/athlon stuff alone, fix those by updates.

== Disable tagged builds from srpms in koji ==
  * DECISION:
    * Koji's little know ability to accept builds for tags directly from 
srpms rather than CVS checkouts will be disabled
      * This will prevent people from getting builds into collections 
that aren't managed in CVS.
      * This will NOT disrupt admins ability to bootstrap new arches.

== Freeze Policy ==
  * DECISION:
    * Defer to a subsequent meeting
    * Discuss release Freeze Requirments
      * determine what they are
      * document them
      * determine how to best manage them
      * get input from QA
    * Start discussion on fedora-maintainers-list the write up results 
into a wiki page
