Probably you confuse this issue with the "make tag" safety-check, which would protect packagers from tagging uncommitted working-copies. But a check whether somebody runs "make build" for an old tag would not be easy to do without a package database and without a history of previously built packages. Would you want the CVS Makefile to query the repository? ;) More warnings today, also for the FC-5 branch. In devel: autogen fortune-firefly anjuta-gdl nethack-vultures kbibtex Do we still have a mailing-list where every package maintainer must be subscribed? (e.g. fedora-maintainers?) Can the "nag-mails" be adjusted to explain what it means "to rebuild" a package? -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
