shim is special in this regard. It doesn't have a release tag - it's just 'shim-16.1-2' or whatever - and we use the same build for multiple releases. This is (AIUI) because of the requirement for it to be signed by Microsoft; if we did different builds of shim for each release we'd have to put *all* of them through the signing process, which is a bit of a PITA. This is also why it's weird in Bodhi. Bodhi can't really handle this 'one build, many releases' thing, so pjones just puts it through Bodhi for one release (F41 in this case) and then releng manually tags it into the others. -- Adam Williamson (he/him/his) Fedora QA Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @[email protected] https://www.happyassassin.net -- _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] 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/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
