Let me put it this way: In any case an automated check should be implemented (Wrt. EVRs it must already be present somewhere), but it would at least have to notify the maintainer: "Your rpm is breaking EVRs x,y,z ... Release anyway?" Unless a security issue is too severe and if build-times are in "feasible orders" (say 2-3 hrs - Which I would expect to apply to the vast majority of packages) a maintainer should very carefully consider whether he really needs to push a packages "RSN", or whether he should take care about the breakages he is causing (Automated rebuilds of breaking packages would be an option if wanting to drive this to extremes) Ralf -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
