Hi,
I've been asking for some way to be able to stop syncing the apt repo from the repository master host so I can prepare the release, and then have the release people grab it from there. But that was never implemented, so things still rely on me being available to synchronously do the required steps, which is obviously not optimal.
Yeah, unfortunately that's not entirely straightforward to implement.
Devrim handles this problem with an email to the sysadmin team, who can disable and later re-enable yum sync. It's a minor PITA, but it works.

I wasn't around yesterday, so I'm preparing the 15.0 packages now. Will take an hour from now or so.
