In fact, for simplicity, I'd say I simply want *my* whole pending queue blocked until A succeeds, not just [B, C], or otherwise skipped. This would greatly facilitate the management of large projects, because I can calculate the dependency tree and then submit the desired build ordering myself, but if I don't have this blocking mechanism (and the build ordering guarantee!) in COPR, I need to implement it on my side, which is very slow and error prone (the API is in between). Also, another important thing I just remembered as I was writing "API": we cannot retrieve the information for all builds via the API for large projects, because it's painfully slow. What I do for iucar/cran, instead, is to wget https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/iucar/cran/monitor/ (which is also painfully slow, but at least it eventually succeeds) and then I parse the resulting HTML table. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Far from ideal from every point of view. -- Iñaki Úcar _______________________________________________ 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
