Back when the tooling still worked and we got a daily email with a handy list of packages with broken deps, I and Kevin Fenzi and others would regularly go through it and fix the ones we could fix, occasionally we'd get down to zero, but we always kept on top of it to some extent. Now there isn't a handy list any more, we just don't do this as much because it's not as easy to find what needs fixing in the first place. The most useful thing to do here would be to fix up the tooling so we get a reliable daily report again. -- 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 Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
