So one alternative is *not* to push the change to all branches. Unless it's really necessary, such as fixing an essential bug, I tend to leave older Fedora branches on a stable release, to reduce churn for users. eg: $ cd fedora/libnbd $ for f in f* rawhide ; do (cd $f && fedpkg verrel); done Using libnbd.spec libnbd-1.0.2-1.fc29 Using libnbd.spec libnbd-1.2.2-1.fc30 Using libnbd.spec libnbd-1.4.1-1.fc31 Using libnbd.spec libnbd-1.6.2-1.fc32 Using libnbd.spec libnbd-1.6.5-1.fc33 Using libnbd.spec libnbd-1.8.6-1.fc34 Using libnbd.spec libnbd-1.10.5-1.fc35 Using libnbd.spec libnbd-1.12.7-1.fc36 Using libnbd.spec libnbd-1.14.2-1.fc37 Using libnbd.spec libnbd-1.16.1-1.fc38 Using libnbd.spec libnbd-1.16.1-2.fc39 (Also note 'fedpkg clone -B' option to use a separate subdirectory for each branch, much more intuitive IMHO.)
