SRU micro version update exception

  • Allow for an exception in SRUs to the "patch must be as small and unintrusive as possible" requirement for specific packages that meet the criteria:

    • upstream supports micro-version updates to stable releases
    • upstream has a sufficiently high level of regression testing for their stable releases
    • regression tests are enabled in the package's build
  • The technical board will have the responsibility to maintain and review the list of packages that are exceptions to the SRU rule, as well as approve package additions.
    • Changes to the exception list must be brought to the TB via email. The request is expected to include justification against the above criteria.
    • Changes can be approved via any single TB member
  • Approved exceptions:
    • firefox
    • mozilla-thunderbird, thunderbird
    • postgresql-X.Y
    • clamav (approved on 2009-01-09)
