Background
AC builders accept requests only from packages on AC-branch
To see who has AC builders access, follow this link: http://cvs.pld-linux.org/PLD-doc/PLD-who_is_who?rev=HEAD
Asking developer to send package to builders
To avoid the frustration and misunderstanding you must be sure before asking somebody to STBR
for you
1. that package as AC-branch
tag:
$ ./builder -r AC-branch -bs PACKAGE.spec
2. for AC-ready
it must have integer release
3. if you ask developer to STBR
ALWAYS specify AC-test
or AC-ready
to avoid confusion
4. for AC-ready builds there may not be already existing auto tag (builders won't allow you to build), (unless you ask to rebuild same tag, which is probably what you didn't want).
5. if creating AC-branch make it TAG, not BRANCH if the file(s) (spec, sources) do not differ with one from HEAD. first it makes clearly understandable that HEAD==AC-branch, and secondly it prevents somebody commiting to AC-branch while AC-branch==HEAD and one should commit to HEAD and move AC-branch instead.
6. spec files can not be UTF-8 encoded.
