It is interrupted as soon a package has been built explicitly for the parent dist. For example, once somebody rebuilds packages for dist-f16 because of library upgrades, dist-f16 no longer inherits those packages from dist-f15 +updates. Now guess what happens if subsequent builds for dist-f16 fail. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
