Fedora package maintainers, FESCo approved an updated policy for packages which fail to build from source during mass rebuilds (FTBFS) [1]. The updated policy is still at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fails_to_build_from_source. Highlights: - packages which FTBFS are subject to orphaning if there is no maintainer acknowledgement within 8 weeks - packages which FTBFS in two consecutive mass rebuilds will be retired soon after the second mass rebuild
The second one is pretty strong one. Does it incue system packages too? If so, note that it can be hard to adapt some packages to new GCC or (in future) new JDK11 in short interval of two mass rebuilds.
Thanx!
The implementation of this policy hinges on improving the releng scripts used to create and manage FTBFS bugs. There is approximately two months until the next use of those scripts, so I'm hopeful we'll get them working. If your package wasn't successfully built for F28, please fix that!
