Here's the basic problem. People find force retagging useful when tagging something for a build, make a mistake, and the build fails. You fix the mistake and force the retag and rerun the build.. so you don't have to make an additional release bump just to get a new unique tag. I don't think I've heard anyone express an interest in being able to force a retag after a successful build has gone through. Unfortunately we don't have a way to prevent that. I can go back right now and accidentally force a retag for a tagged build that completed... killing the ability to regenerate the srpm from the tag used when the binary that actually got built The reason there is a desire to have koji write a tag is to indicate that yes a build succeeded and binaries that correspond to this tagged source are available through the fedora buildsystem. I'm not sure make build can actually do that... write back a tag if a build succeeded. Because that is the ultimate goal for all of this discussion. Being able to regenerate the srpm for a given binary built in our build system on an as needed basis. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
