I'd like to see an automatic notification mechanism that "package FOO that your package BAR Requires: or BuildRequires: was just updated". To make life interesting: sometimes a package rebuild is for trivial reasons. If there were such a notification mechanism, then ideally the owner of the package-having-dependencies should be able to mark a particular rebuild as "all hands on deck!" or "take a look but probably no problemo" or "fear not, nothing interesting here". regards, tom lane -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
