Is this official? Then it should be announced and mentioned in the wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fails_to_build_from_source >From what I understand from this thread and the wiki, it does not all fit, because there is for example a F16FTBFS tracker bug, therefore a bug for aircrack-ng should have existed. Nevertheless, missing one mail can easily happen, especially when one was not regularly online at the time of the mass rebuild. Therefore I still think it should be mandatory to first file a bug before a package is removed due to FTBFS issues. And as long as it is possible to create a list of affected packages to remove them, it is only little harder to report bugs for them first. Something like this would work: for package in $(cat packages.txt); do bugzilla new --component $package --product Fedora --version RAWHIDE --summary "$package fails to build from source "--comment "$package fails to build from source. Please fix this, otherwise the package is going to be removed on 2012-04-01. See http://example.com/ for more information" Btw. I just re-built aircrack-ng.
