Well... your build didn't work either... http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=695411 This is why I said it didn't work. > > If you look two lines down below, this commit has a long commit message > (which you've cut out in the email) explaining what bootstrap does. > > Just to reiterate: your packages had a cyclic dependency, nfs-utils <-> > fedfs-utils <-> nfs-utils.

Is this documented somewhere? Plus why not just take off nfs-utils dependency on fedfs-utils and just let fedfs-utils depend on nfs-utils? > > The process of doing so is called bootstrapping.

That's why you see "Enable > bootstrap" (and a successful koji rebuild), followed by "Disable bootstrap". But last koji build was not successful. I see no need for any of this bootstrap code whatsoever... I am on git push away of reverting all that code away unless someone tell me why this is a good thing and can not be done by just removing a dependency. > > I also noted that I poked at this in the other thread where you asked > for help. Thanks for yelling, instead of saying "thanks". > Its called having respect for maintainers... You just don't start hacking on people's packages just because you think or there is something wrong (and expect no push back) You give us time (short if necessary) to address the problem through that new flanged thing called bugzilla or even IRC... ;-) Please allow us to do our jobs! steved. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
