It's possible. The trick would be when to turn that warning on, because we'd have to get the new fedpkg out and available for a reasonable amount of time before we make the change to the repos, so it could wind up warning people a week or more before any repo changes are made. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
