Our team will get together and make a plan around devconf. We'll then announce it to Fedora to get the discussion going (feedback is very important). The topics we are talking about are: > * Packaging automation (as Dennis pointed out -- automate tedious tasks) > * Rawhide gating and increasing its stability > * On-demand side tags (what Richard mentioned) >From my understanding on the current plan for rawhide gating, it involves on-demand side-tags for multi-package update in rawhide. So that's two items in one :) Pierre _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list -- council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to council-discuss-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
