Alright, thanks for the explanation. In that case, I think the RFC is a step in the right direction, but I don't see it being useful, unless the change owners do the extra step and file the FTBFS bugs to notify the maintainers. They can do it already, but don't. Making them finish the change sooner IMO won't make them to also create the tickets.
In general, I'd like to see any change owner to be responsible for dependent package breakages to at least the degree of notifying the maintainer by filling the FTBFS ticket. Huge sets of wildly interconnected packages are one of the cores of any distribution, and thoughtfulness is necessary. -- Michal Schorm Software Engineer Databases Team Red Hat -- On Mon, Jan 27, 2025 at 8:18 PM Fabio Valentini <decatho...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Mon, Jan 27, 2025 at 8:02 PM Michal Schorm <msch...@redhat.com> wrote: > > > > Does this RFC include an obligation for the 'major toolchain upgrades' > > Fedora Change owners to rebuild the dependent packages ? > > No, but this is already happening to some degree. > For example, test builds with GCC snapshots were actually happening, > but the results were not communicated to package maintainers before > the mass rebuild had started - and then it was too late.
