On the topic of multiple values (if possible), how about "group", so we have the possibility of running sub-planet for distinct groups based on their area of activity, like an aggregation of the "art" people, or "developers" or "ambassadors", etc. Like: group = art, ambassadors, marketing Would there be a good way to blacklist entries if we needed to in a rush? Or would we just edit the master config and disable the script? I was thinking of just having a 'ignore users' config option for the script so it would just skip their dirs if there was a problem.

Having this as an option would be a good thing as well, should the need arise in the future. ~Jeffrey ___ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list
