A new package was created and needed karma in order to get pushed to stable quickly. Now comes the part I do not like very much: I have to download and install the package and all its sub-packages manually from koji. In case of the mentioned Pidgin update, I have to check if one of the following packages are installed on my system: finch finch-devel libpurple libpurple-devel libpurple-perl libpurple-tcl pidgin pidgin-devel pidgin-docs pidgin-evolution pidgin-perl pidgin-debuginfo Of course, I could wait two or three days (I do not have the exact number in mind) until the package hits updates-testing and is finally deployed to the mirror which I use, but for a package which fixes a security flaw, this is an awful long time. So using yum and enable the updates testing repo is not really a good choice. But manually downloading and checking which packages I should update is bothersome. My question is: Is there an easy/friendly way of testing packages in order to quickly give karma? I only found [1] suggesting yum with the updates-testing repo enabled.
