The security-fix is useless to an unknown number of users, who run into broken deps. The repository remains broken till a packager is informed about the breakage and supplies a fix. My personal experience with the broken deps reports is that many packagers become active in cvs shortly after receiving the mail and seldomly before receiving the mail. That is a strong indication that (1) packagers could provide rebuilds quicker when learning about a security update in the queue, and (2) when being informed as soon as the security update is published. -- 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
