https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide "Each day (or sometimes more than once per day) , a full 'compose' of the tree is attempted. This will usually result in the creation of all or most of the usual install, live and disk images, installer trees and so forth. The composes are synced to the /fedora/linux/development/ directory on the mirrors, and you can find the images there." Later on there's the section https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide#Producing_Rawhide , which includes more detail, but also talks about a mechanism which hasn't actually been activated yet...I will tweak it a bit. > If it doesn't compose, there is no update in the repo. > > And it has been broken since 2019-02-17: > > https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/rawhide/ > > see STATUS file in each dir. > > Also see issues reported at: > > https://pagure.io/dusty/failed-composes/issues > > (search for Fedora-Rawhide and DOOMED) To be clear, it's not that no-one is trying to fix it. Releng and QA folks have been investigating and fixing the problems the whole time - we've probably fixed about a dozen different ones. The problem is that every time we fix *one* issue, a new package shows up in the mean time and breaks something else. Since each compose attempt takes about 10 hours, this is a slow and painful cycle when it happens... -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
