Automating would basically mean that package > gets built twice, instead of once. I'm don't think number of builds is something that should be optimized over developer time. Put a different way, what's more important? getting features implemented (or just more bugs fixed) for an important package by the freeze, or getting a less important package manually rebuilt? Package rebuilds can be automated, they should be. > There are other reasons as well. Looking for absent maintainers, etc. This isn't the right way to do that. --Ray -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
