It is hard to do testing for spins when there is also some broken dependency in rawhide. (The latest last minute breakage being gmime.) Doing soname bumps right before the alpha freeze (I think under the new development rules the updates would be blocked for beta and beyond) results in fire drills with people scrambling to get packages rebuilt and makes spin testing difficult. Perhaps a separate freeze date for soname bumps (at least for those that are dependencies for other packages) could be made. Or at least a string suggestion that people not frivilously do these right before freezes since they block or make extra work for people when there is a tight deadline for getting things done. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
