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 <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
