Early CVS Branching for F-9

[Jesse Keating]

Per the Fedora 9 Development schedule, we will begin allowing early CVS
branching of packages for F-9.  This will allow maintainers to have an
F-9/ branch for continued Fedora 9 stable work and allow experimental
work to happen in the devel/ branch.  For packages that choose to
branch, builds from devel/ will be held in the 'dist-f10' collection
within koji.  Builds from F-9/ will go to the dist-f9 collection and
show up in rawhide (at least until the final freeze).

Maintainers that wish to have their packages branched early will need to
use the standard CVS Request method
( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CVSAdminProcedure ).
We will begin processing these requests on Tuesday, March 25th.

New packages brought into Fedora will not automatically get an F-9 tag
until after the mass branch date, which coincides with the final freeze
date.
