What you fail to realize is that you can accomplish checking to see if things build correctly without making those builds go to everybody in the universe as an update. These things are not tied together. I'm all for continuous rebuild testing, what I'm not for is continuous churning of packages needlessly that users have to consume.
I realize it, I just think you aren't sacrificing much to update dist tags on a new release, so in my opinion you may as well do a rebuild test on the branch itself as part of the release process. The only semi-official way to upgrade is to download the dvd anyway. And for the people who upgrade via yum, they will have to wait an extra few minutes to download a couple megs of dist tag deltas and headers. Not a very big deal in my opinion. Just an idea, nothing more. Whether or not you choose to implement it for F8 is ofcourse entirely up to the release team. -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
