This is far from perfect solution. Easy example: - you filter for "Fedora Core . Test Update", all other mail is routed to /dev/null from fedora-test-list - "Fedora Core 4 Test Update: udev-071-0.FC4.2" is posted and you get it - someone else does it wrong and posts a mail with the subject "Problems with udev from updates testing" (people will do that, that's life) -- a lengthy thread might result from it and you'll miss it because only /dev/null can read it. Okay, you can try also to filter for "updates testing" and "FC4", but you will still miss some relevant discussions. :-| IMHO a separate mailinglist for updates-testing would be a good idea -- I would subscribe. BTW, I really like the idea that started this thread (the "Can we have a policy to ensure to that all the updates have a week or so of testing period in the updates-testing repository with the exception of security updates which go through a shorter duration of testing?." idea) CU thl -- Thorsten Leemhuis <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
