You don't think that's "silly"? Btw did FESCo even > discuss this at all? If a package needs not be rebuilt for any technical reason between F7 and F10, then no, that isn't silly at all. Rebuilding it for no reason other than to change the dist tag is entirely silly. Rebuilding for a technical reason such as a compiler change, an rpm change, a build chain change, etc... that's perfectly fine. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
