So you're talking about doing a scratch build and using a different koji target. The fedpkg build command takes a --target (with --scratch) which will tell it to use a different target. scratch-build has this too. This should allow you to test with something that has already been pushed, or by creating srpms and passing those to fedpkg (scratch-)build. - -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkyBVKwACgkQ4v2HLvE71NXVZACgkVqO0YV7AIZ+hzENfEgaluMH /4YAn2kJdxxXs3Zd7Yb6v0gPhkbW4dxc =38Zm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
