I think the solution is to gate packages coming into rawhide and hold or reject those that break the compose until they are fixed. I think being proactive is VASTLY better than being reactive. Not breaking something in the first place is much easier to deal with than trying to fix it later. > > Right now, e.g., we have a known broken GCC (8.0.1-0.14) in the Rawhide and > Branched trees (which miscompiles the Chromium/QtWebEngine build tool GN on > x86_64), the fix (8.0.1-0.16) has already been in the right Koji tags for > days, but any third-party repository (RPM Fusion, Copr, etc.) will still get > the broken GCC. This is not acceptable. I'm sure there's any number of bugs in any number of collections of packages. We had a successfull rawhide compose today. Many thanks to Patrick, Adam, Dusty, Mohan, Dennis, the installer team and many others for working through all the breakage. Branched is running now, hopefully it will finish later today. kevin
