It ought to start with actual bug-fixes (in reply to bz tickets!) and security-fixes. Not version upgrades, because upstream has released just another minor release including "rewrites from scratch", feature enhancements, "minor fixes" and similar stuff that breaks quite often. Not major spec formatting changes or "cleanup" either. Package maintainers do need to set up mail filters for the cvs commit diffs anyway. It wouldn't surprise me if in several cases they would reply quickly after seeing the commits. What's the status update on bodhi? Can provenpackagers submit updates for packages they can commit to and build? Or do they need to be in the pkg's devel cancommit acl? -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
