Hopefully with fully automated broken deps checks, it will not be possible anymore for package maintainers to push such ABI-incompatible upgrades directly into the stable repo. [Also note that several (many?) maintainers are still not aware of koji buildroot override tags and that it needs Fedora releng to create them, and when you talk to such maintainers you find out that they believe they must push upgrades into stable before they could do rebuilds of dependencies.] -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
