As mentioned elsewhere, the distro already drops packages that fail to build, so I'm not sure how worthwhile doing it here too will be. -- Rex -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct

We generally actually drop packages from the distro that have been FTBFS for two releases so I'm not sure it should make much difference but some third party repos don't necessarily rebuild as often so you might end up excluding useful tools/codecs etc Peter -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
