Sorry, I missed that you were talking about packages not on the release media. Yeah, those are kind of odd because you can argue them either way: on the one hand pulling them in is unlikely to break anything, on the other hand, what's the point of doing it? I'd usually still err on the side of caution and leave them out, just in case they somehow break the buildroot or do something else strange, if there's no actual particular reason to push them. And yes, there is an obvious technical problem - we don't actually have the ability, right now, to know for sure exactly what packages are somehow directly involved in building the media. -- 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 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
