Can something also be implemented to check BuildRequires? --> Would help the ports a LOT.Hi,I don't agree: I suppose that mandrakesoft has an automated build procedure, a warning will probably go unnoticed, while a package that fails to build will surely get a maintaner attention. The result will be many less broken packages (I hope).
Exactly! Too maintainers simply don't care about their packages. This is a means to bring attention to possible new files added through packages updates and also fix existing packages that have missing files.
It's quite simple to implement: only upload the src.rpm and let the upload robot rebuild it in a clean environment (basesystem + rpm-build) plus installing the BuildRequires. As a matter of fact, I've been doing this with the alpha port for a while now...
