That's a really good point and an interesting question - thanks for bringing it up. Indeed this kind of bug tends to get dealt with only when we realize things are on fire... Thinking about it, there usually ought to be older versions of almost all packages available in Koji at least - it does do garbage collection, but it keeps stuff around for a while. It may be best to try and test this using VMs, to control the environment as much as possible. I guess we could actually take advantage of older pre-releases and TCs/RCs for this, but as you say, especially with Rawhide, it might be difficult / impossible to test updates from certain intermediate packages after a given time... -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin DOT net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
