	Hi,
the answer for the above is just your following point:

> * commit groups of packages together

aka the dependencies. Sometimes you want a special side tag, sometimes
it's not needed. The way I do it right now (it's only about 4 packages
depending on each other, not hundreds), is that I commit to master,
then to stable, then the second package to master, to stable, then
third and finally to the fourth and then I ran a chain-build as this:
"a : b : c " in package 'd', (which builds 'c' and 'd' in parallel,
once 'a' and 'b' are built in serial). Then I just refresh the koji
build page from time to time and verify that the build still runs
and/.or it finished successfully. I can run chain-build in stable too,
it only needs a bit more intervention, to define overrides for 'a' and
'b' in bodhi, to be able to build them.

I'm afraid fully automating such things might be a challenge. In other
words, properly solving dependencies is problematic. Having yet another
syntax to describe it, or the groups you suggest, scares me a bit. And
we are not talking about inter-package dependencies, with packages you
are not maintaining.

	Bye,
	Milan
