Then the question is "Why people do not use rawhide", and "how can we
fix the issue so people use it". Maybe that's just perception, maybe
there is real recurrent issue to fix one way or another.
I do not run it, so I cannot judge, but I think the first step to fix
something is to know the exact problems to fix. If the issue is "too
much breakage", how can we ensure the most annoying issues are prevented
( I am pretty confident in autoQA personnaly ) ?
We have on our todo list to 'enforce' the existing autoqa tests, for
depcheck and upgrade path, but we're a little short on people ATM and
everyone keeps getting roped into validation testing. I think enforcing
depcheck for Rawhide would be going a bit far, though, because then
you'd have to use a side tag to do soname bumps, so we kind of have a
problem there: we can't blindly reject dependency-breaking changes to
Rawhide, but that's the kind of thing that usually causes problems in
Rawhide...
