But it seems like "request an EPEL branch" should generally be either "Okay! Doing that automatically now" or "Oh, this is in EL, sorry"*. What are the other cases?As far as I know this isn't about requesting EPEL branches, as much as requesting any branches by hand. If I add something to Fedora rawhide and then ask for a F34 branch, the same issues can happen. Remember our build infrastructure is a pile of band-aids on top of duct tape on top of bungee cords. Lots of tools are written for a toolchain which existed years ago and have been hacked to make it work with whatever new initiative that comes into play. 'Unexpected' side effects and corner cases happen all the time and the fixing of them tends to add new ones.Sure. But also, asking people to spend a lot of their time running grunt-work tasks means that they have less time to fix when things break, let alone re-engineer away some of that tech debt. It seems like we should be able to automate the simple cases (adding F34 and F35 branches should be even easier, since we don't have the "is it in EL?" question even).
*nod*
So ... the question is how can I help? Can you document the check-list? I volunteer to start writing the script.
