The current releng procedure is bureaucracy and a bottle-neck. (How often does releng reject koji buildroot override requests?) I'm in favour of permitting packagers to do the right thing themselves. That is to let them do the full process themselves, but _on demand_ only: - announce the intention of breaking the ABI/API - prepare builds - make available updates candidates in the buildroot on demand - rebuild dependencies if necessary - be able to withdraw buildroot overrides, too - push the full set of pkgs to the updates system The difference to the infamous dumping ground is that packagers don't lose control and can decide whether and when to break the buildroot. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
