This was the original idea I was pursuing, but it has some significant drawbacks, not least of which is that it would take a very long time (and therefore be vulnerable to race-condition issues where other packages are built in ELN in the meantime). Tagging in the F34 builds is actually desirable here, rather than a drawback; it means that even if the ELN build fails, the compose will maintain installability and dependency validity until the issue is corrected. This in turn means that Content Resolver will be able to continue functioning. Speaking of Content Resolver, this will also solve the issue we have today where adding a new dependency on a package can cause Content Resolver to fail due to the dependent package not yet being in the ELN compose. With this approach, we will still have the Rawhide version available. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
