Well, not exactly. I believe I mentioned this to you in chat: you can request that the update be untagged. Before openQA was gating for Rawhide, we actually did this quite a lot (so much that I was thinking of it as 'soft gating' for a while). File a ticket at https://pagure.io/releng/issues and request that the build be untagged . Like e.g. https://pagure.io/releng/issue/12464 . Someone from releng will probably look at it very quickly (if not, you can ping on the Matrix channel). We used to be very, very gunshy about untagging things, but with various changes to the Rawhide workflow in recent years we just aren't any more. Especially if the build has not yet made it to a compose, untagging is entirely possible. If you get the build untagged before the next compose happens, it will never appear in the 'real' public Rawhide repo. If you do get a build untagged, I usually find it's a good idea to add a comment to the Bodhi update for the build explaining why, and just generally make sure the issue is followed up on and resolved, not just left to fester till the next build happens for unrelated reasons. Doing this for a while is actually a great way to build up a concrete justification for turning on 'real' gating (I referenced the history of builds being untagged in response to openQA testing when we turned on Rawhide gating). -- Adam Williamson (he/him/his) Fedora QA Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @ad...@fosstodon.org https://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://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, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
