In my personal opinion, Jesse is spot-on, we should NOT allow official builds from a private branch. That's just insane. Scratch builds are fine. Official builds need to be from the main branch, or a common non-private branch (such as the kernel has done for maintaining both e.g. 2.6.29 and 2.6.30 trees simultaneously for F10). If you get eaten by raptors, you can't expect another maintainer to come in after you and have to dig around for a private branch to update a build. -- Jarod Wilson jarod@xxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
