Nightly RPMs being published

Support
1

We've started automatically publishing nightly RPMs to the repositories
at http://yum.theforeman.org. It's only for EL6 x86_64 at the moment,
but once a couple of Fedora 18 packaging bugs are fixed, they'll get
pushed too.

The following release RPM should configure it appropriately:
http://yum.theforeman.org/nightly/el6/x86_64/foreman-release.rpm

Please note the following points:
a) nightly RPMs aren't GPG signed, only RC and final releases
b) nightlies are built from our "develop" branch where all development
takes place, so although it's got a good reputation for stability, do
expect occasional issues
c) nightlies currently ahead of the 1.2 stable branch, so are versioned
as 1.2.999 to indicate this, since it'd be a downgrade. Use the RC repo
today if you want to stay on 1.2.

If you come across issues, please file bugs in redmine as always:
http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/foreman/issues/new

FYI, I've added docs to the wiki about how repos get published, both for
nightlies and generally for releases:

The nightlies are being built in Koji into our foreman-nightly-* tags
from a cronjob on my PC (about to be moved to Jenkins), mashed on a koji
cronjob four times a day and then synchronised to yum.tf.org using a few
Jenkins jobs I set up this morning:
