You can check it out here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji (Yes, we replaced the entire build system for Fedora, just 3 weeks before the release of F7. Yes, we are a little bit crazy. But we said we would merge Core and Extras and get a release out by May 31 and by God, we did.) Koji is very cool for the package developers too, but I'm not much of a developer so we won't get into that. For us testers, the most obvious benefit is that we all have access to newly-built packages the *moment* the builds complete. If you are waiting to test a fix, you don't need to wait for rawhide to update, or for the package(s) to get pushed to updates-testing. The developer can say, "Hey, go grab the latest 'screen' update from koji". You hit the "Search" box, type in "screen", and poof: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=927 Every build of 'screen' ever. Click one and you can see the changelogs, build logs, whatever. You can see who built it and when. You can download whichever packages you like. There's a lot more cool stuff, but that alone is enough to make me deliriously happy. Fun tip: right-click on the "search" box in firefox and select "Add a Keyword for this Search...". Add a bookmark with the keyword "koji", and now you can just type: "koji [packagename]" (e.g.: "koji kernel") in the firefox address bar to go straight to the koji page for that package. Any other koji tips and tricks people want to share? This koji thing is really cool and we're just starting to see its potential. Plus a lot of people worked reeeally hard on it and they'll be happy to hear how much people like it! -w
