It's not so much that many packages need freezing, but quite a lot need coordinated rebuilds (mini mass rebuilds). Once thing current cadencing provides is "free" mass rebuilds (you just make sure to commit the key packages before branching and releng will usually mass rebuild all the other things that depend on those key parts for some other reason). Fix the tooling so those mini mass rebuilds are cheap to setup and are not human packager intensive, and there's not reason the rebuild result could not be pushed to every release. Or to a rolling release. Or whatever. We really need to evolve our tooling from "packages can be handled independently in reviews, builds, and pushes, coordinated changes are the exception" to "we manage sets of packages by default, single-package changes are just set changes with set = 1" -- Nicolas Mailhot _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
