Why? Why does that even *matter*? In ordinary circumstances, there would be *zero* information to provide anyway. A rebuild should happen with *no* effort on *anyone's* part. The churn is *already* recorded by Koji separately in its own metadata. > The bot for rebuilds would need two privileges: for dist-git and for > koji. And it was the same before rpmautospec and now.

It creates races between contributors, collaborators, pull requests, etc. The fact that we have to do that for rebuilds basically forces manual involvement for all rebuilds. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
