It would break the buildroot too often (think of ABI/API breaks and packaging mistakes) and reduce the predictability of builds. We would be building against untested packages, often unknowingly. +1 to some way of automating koji buildroot overrides (perhaps based on FAS group membership such as provenpackagers) in order to remove the releng bottleneck. Is koji capable of doing buildroot overrides based on repo inheritance? That means, it would populate a new initially empty repo with updates-testing candidate builds for a new tag and construct a buildroot from multiple repos, the ordinary dist-fX-build buildroot plus the temporary repo. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
