Rawhide Rebase Warning to Package Maintainers

• Send the message bellow to devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org

Greetings,

This e-mail is intended to inform you about the upcoming Bugzilla changes
happening on 2016-07-26 (Rawhide bug rebase) and what you need to do, if anything.

We will be automatically changing the version for most rawhide bugs to Fedora 25.
This will result in regular bugs reported against rawhide during the Fedora 25
development cycle being changed to version ‘25' instead of their current
assignment, ‘rawhide’.  This is to align with the branching of Fedora 25 from
rawhide and to more accurately tell where in the lineage of releases the bug was
last reported.

Note that this procedure does not apply to bugs that are open for the ‘Package
Review’ or 'kernel; components or bugs that have the ''FutureFeature'' or ''Tracking'' keywords
set. These will stay open as rawhide bugs indefinitely.

If you do not want your bugs changed to version ‘25‘, add the ''FutureFeature''
keyword. If you need help changing a large amount of bugs manually, we’d be glad
to help.

The process was re-approved by FESCo https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1096.

Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
