Not only that, but you need to have commit access to the Rawhide branch in order to create a buildroot override for *any* branch, which is unfortunate for instance if Fedora and EPEL have separate maintainers. Ironically, Rawhide is the only branch you don't actually need overrides. Paul. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
