I think it does have value, however I think the Red Hat compiler team drastically underestimated how much breakage we're willing to tolerate for it. > > If things are perfect, they are just there for assurance.

Since Koji 1.18, it's been possible to modify the build process by setting simple RPM macros and mock flags in build tags. And with the module builds (which operate in chain builds on side tags), there is a higher potential for modifications that can result in a different set of binaries since it'll generate macros packages on demand to do complex build environment changes. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org 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/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
