Hello,
Package Maintainer Docs currently recommend joining the package-announce
mailing list in two places [1,2], describing it as follows:
> You should also consider joining the package-announce mailing list —
> The commits mailing list gets notifications on all commits in any
> package in the Fedora repository. This is a very high traffic mailing
> list. The Fedora package database sends commit mails for packages you
> (co-)maintain.
I wonder, would it be better to drop this recommendation? Instead, it
could be recommended to go to Package Sources and adjust the Watch
setting for individual packages as needed? The paragraph quoted above is
already kind of recommending that approach in the last sentence.
What are the use cases where subscribing to the package-announce mailing
list is better than watching individual packages? Are the use cases
common enough that the mailing list deserves to be called "important"
and be recommended for everybody interested in Fedora packaging?
Otto
