Cool. Have you been making sure the patches are upstreamable and upstreaming them? I took a brief look at a few packages and found various patches elsewhere, but they're often not upstreamable because they just replace what's appropriate for 6 with what's appropriate for 7, causing the code not to build against 6 any more; I'd guess upstreams are likely going to want patches that allow the code to build against 6 and 7 (hence the patch will need to detect the version of imagemagick and ifdef things like header locations and changed functions...) > > The updates have autokarma disabled; I guess Michael and I will try to > > synchronize with you, and other major third-party repo maintainers, > > when we're planning to push them stable.

We do need at least key packages like emacs rebuilt for F27 ASAP, as we're getting pretty close to the Beta dates. If we can't get F27 cleaned up within a few days I'm going to start advocating for a drop back to 6.9.9... -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
