Taking this a bit further: Is there any valid reason to push a commit to rawhide dist-git without building it? We do not expect any "update-shy" users on rawhide, so the usual argument "do not bother users unnecessarily" does not apply here. Indeed, the only reason I can think of is during side-tag work, be it your own small "package plus dependencies" or the larger "rebuild for change X" (new gcc/clang/python/cmake/...). If it weren't for those I'd say we should trigger automatic builds on pushes to the rawhide branch, just as we do automatic bodhi updates on rawhide now. You can always keep a few commits bunched up locally or in a fork/PR if you want to prepare works without building. Indeed, we should work off forks or feature branches more, instead of on the rawhide "production" branch. Depending on how far we want to go we can do either of: - enable automatic koji scratch builds + FTBFS reporting on rawhide pushes - use forks or feature braches for side-tag work - do a scratch build in the rawhide receive hook, i.e. allow only pushes which can be built - enable automatic build on rawhide pushes I know, that's nothing for tomorrow. But maybe the day after the forge move :) Michael -- _______________________________________________ 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
