Roughly like this: 0) start with a post-FE3 repository 1) process list of all packages which need a rebuild, one by one 2) drop all entries from the list, which built successfully 3) loop to 1, if at least one package built successfully, else end A big assumption here is that packages fail to build if build dependencies cause breakage at install-time (= package resolver fails to install them) or build-time (= configure scripts or availability tests fail with error condition). -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
