One thing that came up in today's QA meeting was a desire to remove packages from the repository that "Fail To Build From Source" [1] for several months leading up to a Beta release when there is no resolution in sight. I'm currently doing a rawhide rebuild, and expect on the order of 350 packages currently in rawhide to fail to rebuild. There are at least 144 which are known to not rebuild, which have bugs filed blocking the FTBFS bug [2] (or one of its decendants). I'll file additional bugs later this week based on my rawhide run. There are at least these many in rawhide today with "old" dist tags which have failed for me in the past week: .fc6: 12 gdmap-0.7.5-6.fc6.src.rpm aiksaurus-1.2.1-15.fc6.src.rpm ht2html-2.0-5.fc6.src.rpm lineak-defaultplugin-0.9-2.fc6.src.rpm lineak-xosdplugin-0.9-2.fc6.src.rpm lineakd-0.9-5.fc6.src.rpm oooqs2-1.0-3.fc6.src.rpm orpie-1.4.3-5.fc6.src.rpm qa-assistant-0.4.90.5-2.fc6.src.rpm scim-skk-0.5.2-8.fc6.src.rpm soundtracker-0.6.8-2.fc6.src.rpm .fc7: 27 svnmailer-1.0.8-3.fc7.src.rpm conexusmm-0.5.0-3.fc7.src.rpm moto4lin-0.3-6.fc7.src.rpm SOAPpy-0.11.6-6.fc7.src.rpm fluxstyle-1.0.1-2.fc7.src.rpm fonttools-2.0-0.11.20060223cvs.fc7.src.rpm fontypython-0.2.0-6.fc7.src.rpm gl-117-1.3.2-4.fc7.src.rpm gstm-1.2-6.fc7.src.rpm gtk-sharp-1.0.10-12.fc7.src.rpm gtksourceview-sharp-2.0-25.fc7.src.rpm junitperf-1.9.1-2jpp.1.fc7.src.rpm kphotobymail-0.4.1-1.fc7.src.rpm mbuffer-20070502-1.fc7.src.rpm pcmanx-gtk2-0.3.5-9.336svn.fc7.src.rpm pekwm-0.1.5-5.fc7.src.rpm plague-0.4.4.1-4.fc7.src.rpm python-durus-3.5-3.fc7.src.rpm python-pydns-2.3.0-5.fc7.src.rpm python-simpletal-4.1-5.fc7.src.rpm python-tpg-3.1.0-4.fc7.src.rpm python-urljr-1.0.1-1.fc7.src.rpm pyzor-0.4.0-11.fc7.src.rpm qps-1.9.19-0.2.b.fc7.src.rpm ruby-bdb-0.6.0-1.fc7.src.rpm rudeconfig-5.0.5-1.fc7.src.rpm sblim-wbemcli-1.5.1-5.fc7.src.rpm (and of course there are packages with no dist tag which fail too) so the number of packages we'd consider here isn't huge, but is nonzero. Please consider adopting a policy regarding packages which continue to fail to build from source for a given distribution. These packages need attention, if only because we have disabled F6 buildroots which would be necessary to build and fix a bug in such a package package in the F9 release. I agree with Will Woods' suggestion (pardon if I mis-attribute) that such cutoff point should be the Beta cut of the next version of the release.
