Sure, but this is additional work that, again, requires time. See above. We are in the process of creating a SIG, a FAS group (already done), and adding commit access to this group to all the R software, so that more time and more hands can be invested in the future. But yet again, this requires time, and people were a bit overloaded already. So it is what it is for now. > > Unfortunately, F37 is not rawhide anymore, so the question is whether > > this side tag could be safely merged both in F37 and rawhide when it > > is ready. > > I'll defer to the releng folks, but I think you should be able to merge the > sidetag normally through the Bodhi interface, though it will be for f37 and > not rawhide. You'll have to rebuild everything in rawhide. We expected that much for F37, we just hoped that the latter could be avoided. -- 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 Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
