This is not the purpose of updates-testing, it is not an alternative update repo. It is there for focused testing of packages you - the developer - believe are already ready to be pushed out as updates; basically it's where you send your update 'release candidates' for others to make sure you got it right. If it works, it goes to updates. If not, you unpush it, fix it, and try again. Things should not live there. What you describe is the function of a separate 'backports' style repo, as discussed earlier in the thread. Since we don't have one at present, the best option is to do a scratch build and host it yourself, *not* misuse updates-testing to host a package you have no immediate intention of shipping as an update. The current processes just are not set up for updates-testing to be used for this purpose. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
