Once again, I run 37 projects which I would like to make available in the Fedora repository. I'm trying to develop a way I can ship RPMS, or equivalent metadata from which the Fedora project can build RPMs, automatically every time I do a point release.
But do you want every automatic point release propogating to the release repository without human testing ?
In many cases yes. About thirty of those projects are very stable; point releases are mainly for things like porting fixes and should go straight to the street. Maybe half a dozen have testing issues on each release; those I would direct to your unstable repository.
I can see clearly that you want to automate it for your own package trees so that people can effectively subscribe to 'fetchmail of the day' or similar things. For that you might want to look at Dag Wieers stuff since he's rolling 500+ packages for several releases all the time.
Pointer?
