In the build system I suspect you'd either get: 1) a failed build 2) a package without ruby features 3) something unexpected It might not be a show stopper for a standard package install but it is for reproducible builds > 2) It is easy to fix if you know it happens When rel-eng is doing a mass rebuild of 18K+ packages how are we suppose to know it happens? How do we know there's not thousands of other weird substitutions happening without checking build logs? Are we expected to cross referencing previous logs to see if there's changes or if it's the same? > 3) DNF is not going to change, so it must be fixed in packages anyway. So there's known issues your not going to fix and, from the comment below, you don't know if there's other similar issues or ones that might be worse? > I'd be glad if somebody of rel-engs can give us the list of packages > which suffers similar issues. Are we expected to cross referencing previous logs to see if there's changes or if it's the same and provide you that information? We already have too much to do so it's easier to stick with yum where we know what the outcome is. Sorry, not going to do your work for you!
