Later on I'll be adding some "tree sanity" checking code to pungi, or accepting patches that add such things, so that once composed the tree can get a once over for things like broken deps or other silly things. If things are too far incompatible, the compose will fail due to anaconda not being able to run correctly to generate the images. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
