Looking at this holistically, do "we"[0] need to improve the documentation about what is appropriate, or do we need to add additional protocols (procedures) to prevent this from happening again (perhaps two people to agree to waive the QA testing for a set of packages that are not just important, but very important), as this might simply be an example of a bigger issue (don't point at the boost packagers, look at the larger issue). There are a few packages that cross the line from important to very important (and I do not believe we have a consistent and actionable definition[1] for such). Yes, I am, perhaps, suggesting additional impedance to the entire process for some packages. But that also means "we[0]" need to make that decision as to how to move forward. [0] The royal "we", which means the project, and not just you, or me. [1] FWIW, I package a package which, for good or bad, is now, in practice, in the critical path (systemd depends on it). -- _______________________________________________ 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
