I now know how you were finding various things I never could find. I think that some tool needs to be written which uses fedora-messaging as the backend which meets your and people in releng needs. I think adding this to FMN might be a good long term ask but I don't know if it would be something that could be done 'quickly' (or at least before 2024 :)). > > kevin > _______________________________________________ > infrastructure mailing list -- infrastructure@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to > infrastructure-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > 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/infrastructure@lists.fedoraproject.org > Do not reply to spam, report it: > https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue > -- Stephen Smoogen, Red Hat Automotive Let us be kind to one another, for most of us are fighting a hard battle. -- Ian MacClaren
