What about scrapping the existing bugzilla message, and instead posting the direct link to koji download the package: """To test the update now run: dnf upgrade https://koji.fp.o/update-yyyy/path-to.rpm https://koji.fp.o/update-yyyy/path-to-another.rpm https://koji.fp.o/update-yyyy/path-to-yet-another.rpm After that go to https://bodhi.fp.o/update-yyyy/ to leave karma. """ dnf will skip packages that are not already installed with 'upgrade'. Since this would be only run manually, and the dependent packages would be downloaded from mirrors, this shouldn't cause too much load on koji servers. The advantage would be that the message would be actionable and feedback from the bug reporters would be as fast as possible.
