FWIW I asked about this last week on #fedora-releng, and the thought was
that it's not enough packages to be worth it yet:
is there a (very) rough ETA on when the mass rebuild is
likely to be done? I'm may want a custom build target for getting
Python 3.3 into F18: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Python_3.3
dmalcolm: when its done
:)
dmalcolm: probably by the end of the weekend
ah; thanks!
well, lets see... 3 days and we have done what... 5k or so?
well, 2 days I guess.
so yeah, end of weekend seems possible
so is a custom build target for python 3.3 sometime next week
a sane thing to ask for?
* dmalcolm is hoping to have a contingency plan
dmalcolm: that should be fine. how many packages are we
talking about?
and how long should it take?
about 30 iirc
depends if we run into difficulties
am trying it out locally on my laptop
dmalcolm: for that few it really shouldnt need its own tag
dgilmore: thanks. My concern is: what happens if I run into
some snag 20 packages in that isn't easily resolvable? Do I manually
back everything out?
dmalcolm: we could untag it as long as its not gone out
* dmalcolm isn't sure what that means
dgilmore: does that basically mean untag the say 20 packages,
so that rawhide goes back to earlier NVRs?
dmalcolm: yes
tnx
dmalcolm: we cant do that though if its gone out in a nightly
rawhide
hmmm
* dmalcolm hopes that that gives a wide enough window, and gets back to
rehearsing the builds on his laptop
thanks
