I just added the question What happens if a package has a official maintainer, but does not rebuild his packages in (let's say) 10 days after the official mass rebuild was proclaimed? to http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Schedule/MassRebuildFC5 > > some sort of cascade such that an underlying dependancy package needs > > to be rebuilt at the same time as another package but package A and > > package B are maintained by different people? > > Bugzilla has fields to allow this.

I suspect that won't work, but maybe I'm wrong. >>[...] > Seriously, if we can get a few people to help drive and work through a > mass rebuild then I'm all for it. I'll even help.

If the solution is found how to create all those bugs for all packages it might work. Another idea: Tell everybody to rebuild. Wait a week. Fill bugs for all packages that dind't get rebuild. Wait a week. If the maintainers didn't do anything in between it can be rebuild by a special mass rebuild task force. If it fails - fix it or drop it before FC5. -- Thorsten Leemhuis <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
