That would imply that > they are human beings, and we can't have users with such dangerous thoughts! Well, that was what my original proposal was about. Pore old humans can decide to push things to "almost updates", but only a computer which verifies the updates can be applied successfuly to at least one test instance of a fedora install can push the updates out of "almost updates" and into "updates". Of course, I wasn't thinking about the dbus incident specifically, since that version of dbus applied with no conflicts, it would have made it through the automated test as well. I was thinking more about all the conflicts which continually show up where some new package needs a new library and the new library isn't available yet, etc. Just a quick automated test to prevent obvious problems from reaching updates, but short of a full-blown dependency analysis of the entire repo. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
