Sorry for the catastrophic breakage. I misunderstood/forgot how the mass rebuild will work, and that it wasn't necessary for these builds to be tagged into f44 for the mass rebuild to use the new boost and the fixes I've made for its revdeps. I agree with untagging them, but the same packages will need to be fixed in the next few days anyway, or the mass rebuild will encounter the same set of build failures as I listed elsewhere in this thread. -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] 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/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
