If you're volunteering to fix and/or paper over all the spurious warnings gcc and glibc introduce with every phase of the moon, then sure.
Yes, I do it for my component, GDB has -Werror default in development phases upstream. It cleans up the code, it finds various minor bugs etc.
I didn't say "for your component".
Otherwise -Werror would essentially mean never shipping anything ever again.
So the maintainers either care about the warnings - and then they should use -Werror - or they do not care about the warnings - and then it does not matter regarding warning messages which and how many of them can be found on the Koji server in the log files. Please decide.
I wasn't arguing for or against finding warnings. I was commenting on the ability to see build failures.
Admittedly, you were initially responding to Colin, not myself.
