This is a rather over-bold claim. What's "more important" depends on what you're doing at the time. If you just need to bump and rebuild a bunch of packages on Rawhide for an soname bump (just to give an *ENTIRELY RANDOM EXAMPLE*, right juhp? :>), then a tool like this is what you need. Since you won't be scheduling the builds - that's Koji's job - you don't need a tool that does that. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/VRPULCYYOBUBTPJ5NXRAM45NAQUH5LK7/
