Would it be a worthwhile to extend that discussion about the value of enhancing the build system to have scratch areas so reviewers could submit srpms that aren't in cvs yet to spin up rpms using the dedicated buildsystem hardware without having to pull the build environment down locally? I have no idea how much work that would entail.. but its thing I think which would most greatly impact the quality of the review process for binaries. Not having access to all build arches and not having the bandwidth to pull down the development tree are large obstacles to doing quality review builds, at least for me. -jef -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
