I don't see a benefit of that... When a build fails, it kills all other current builds of other architectures, so you need to check that architecture, that fails first and the diff would not contain the error. Other that that. The diff would show, different which different packages are installed, e.g. gcc.i386 instead of gcc.x86_64, which doesn't interest me either... (And different requires etc.) What would be the benefit of such a feature? Thomas -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
