This is not true and I have *specifically* pointed you at the policy page which says it is not true, more than once. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy#Rawhide_.2F_devel_.2F_master For updates to rawhide packages, Maintainers SHOULD: Try not to push a clearly broken build (breaks the default buildroot package set, etc) When a proposed update contains an ABI or API change: notify a week in advance both fedora-devel and maintainers directly (using the packagename-owner@ alias) whose packages depend on yours to rebuild or offer to do these rebuilds for them. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
