Maybe this is a bit radical, but perhaps we shouldn't *have* a super-large compose in itself? If we decouple most of the deliverable production from the "release tree" creation, then there's no reason that ISOs couldn't be spun over and over without forcing the regeneration of *all the things*. Nearly all the deliverables use the same base tree anyway, and some of the ISO issues are related to incorrect kickstart definitions that need some simple fixes. That said, the other thing that's a problem here is that broken composes don't notify the SIGs specifically that their stuff needs fixing. We have(ish) this process for packages (once spam-o-matic emails are sent again..), but we've never had something like this for all the images we produce. This makes it hard for SIG folks to know there's a problem that needs fixing until it's too late. Also, this most recent class of issues are related to packaging problems or package selection issues for kickstarts. The former issue is that some packages need simple rebuilds for soname bumps. Since we apparently can't have auto-rebuild + submit for such trivial things, we really need at least spam-o-matic mails getting sent when these get detected. The latter issue is also interesting, do we have an equivalent for testing the resolvability of package selections in %packages sections for kickstarts? If not, that might be a good idea to have so that we can validate them before going through the expensive process of producing ISOs. That could even be a CI test on the fedora-kickstarts repo! -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ 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
