Oh, I agree, but I think this is optimizing at the wrong end. Instead of failing when you build, the new-upstream tracker should update your RPM and do a test build as soon as new upstream is detected, so your first interaction should be "Hey, there's a new version of this, and when we tried to build it, there's files missing from the previous version... can you take a look?" -- Matthew Miller <[email protected]> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
