From ffa07fe4160f830495df8cdfb00c6ad34255bffd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adam Williamson Date: Aug 25 2025 16:14:53 +0000 Subject: sop_mass_branching: add a warning about kiwi descriptions For the last two cycles, the initial fedora_kiwi_descriptions branch commit has got the repository switch wrong and broken things until it was fixed with follow-up commits. We need to break the cycle of copying this broken commit to the next release then realizing it's broken and fixing it, so this adds a note in the SOP to try and make sure we do that next time.

It should update the +`core.xml` symlink in `repositories/` to point to `core-nonrawhide.xml`, but instead it leaves that +one alone and creates a new dangling `core.xml` symlink in the top level of the repository.
