Hi all, For reference, this has been discussed at the last FPC meeting: https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/meeting-1_matrix_fedoraproject-org/2025-01-23/fpc.2025-01-23-17.00.log.html And I filed a corresponding RFC with FESCo here: https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/3347 In an effort to avoid the large amount of breakage during the mass rebuild that happened with GCC 15 and Go 1.24 landing only *hours* before it was started, we suggested the following: "Major toolchain upgrades must land at least 7 days before the scheduled start of the mass rebuild." This would mean either major toolchain updates would need to be pushed slightly earlier, or the mass rebuild is started slightly later, plus / minus a few days. A proposal to move the January mass rebuild back by two entire weeks had previously been rejected by FESCo, mostly because it would result in the mass rebuild (and its fallout) happening during FOSDEM. Making sure major toolchain updates are in place at least one week before the start of the mass rebuild should give maintainers more time to deal with potential breakage and / or give compiler maintainers more time to fix regressions that are only found after the update lands. Due to the way how release schedules line up, this additional "checkpoint" would mostly affect GCC and golang, but potentially also other major toolchains - though LLVM will likely continue to need an exception to allow landing the major update "very late" - because the LLVM release schedule doesn't line up well with the Fedora release schedule. There have been some comments on the FESCo ticket, but it would probably be better to have a discussion on the mailing list, instead.
