Regardless if we fix this or not, just checking emails is reactionary. Something may happen to one of my packages at 10pm EST, but I don't wake up and read email until 9am EST. That's a lot of hours for something to happen to one of my packages and for me to notice. With automated push tools, a package build could go out into the repos and be installed by who knows how many people. Relying on me being able to read email in time is not a very good prospect, as you say 'crackrock'. > Are we or are we not switching to hg or git?

With all the other things we're changing, this would be just too much. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
