View source for Submission Policy

Here is a short list of rules that maintainers must follow when submitting builds of their ABF projects to official [[Repo Policy|ROSA repositories]].

[[File:Sendtobuild.png|thumb|An example of correct branch/repository settings]]

# Each ABF project '''MUST''' have a branch corresponding to a target platform.  See "Git Branch" column in [[#Product Naming]] section for the branch for each release series.   For instance, a project that yields packages for ROSA 2012 Marathon '''MUST''' have <code>rosa2012lts</code> branch.  See the picture for an example.
# Always raise the release of the package you built, or changes in the package will not be added to the metadata.
# All packages built for a [[Repo Policy|repository]] must be build from the corresponding branch

{{warning|failing to follow these rules may—and will—result in having your fixes '''automatically''' discarded from the repositories!}}

If a repository is frozen, the updates should be submitted as described in "[[Requesting an Update]]".
