Hi, we just suffered from a small issue on build system, due to a wrong package upload. Some packages have failed due to that, but I resubmited them.
To fix the issue, I have restored the older gnome-keyring package, which allowed the newer one to be uploaded. However, we have noticed several point where we could be better : - the directory holding old rpms is quite a mess, everything on one level. I think having 1 directory per srpm could help use to restore old rpms. - the tool use to manipulate the mirror are cp and rm. That's error prone, and quite stressful. I think a tool able to remove together a complete srpm, and able to restore a old revision would be handy. - the hdlist generation should be more automated. Right now, we have a command ( genhdlist ), with specific argument, and needing the path of the media, 2 times. We also need to do the rsync by hand. Again, a tool for that would IMHO be helpful. - the problem appeared because we have suggest installed in the default chroot. There is already a bug opened for that. Installing suggest is taking useless time, and may hide missing deps, so we should fix this. - we still lake a way to say "build system is broken, we are working on it". I guess the warning label that mandriva deployed could be adapted. - finally, rpmlint should have prevented upload. We have enabled the check on upload, but it seems to be not working. Again, that's something that should be fix unless we want another problem to appear. -- Michael Scherer
