I assume it'd just be another command to koji; from the command line or through the web interface. To push a partially-failed build, you just give it the bug number as required for the ExcludeArch, it'll (probably) rebuild the SRPM with the ExcludeArch added and then release the binary versions which _did_ build into their respective repositories. That doesn't seem like such a divergence from what we have a the moment, which waits for a final 'OK' that the package has built OK everywhere, before releasing the build to rawhide. It's just that it would now be "built OK _or_ approved anyway" instead of just "built OK". If a partially-failed build gets pushed, we may have to make the architectures on which it failed use the _older_ version of the package, rather than losing the package from the repository entirely. Otherwise, you end up with thinks like kernel-headers going missing and screwing the whole system whenever a kernel fails to build. Things _used_ to work like this, until relatively recently. -- dwmw2 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
