Fedora package maintainers,
FESCo approved an updated policy for packages which fail to build from
source during mass rebuilds (FTBFS) [1].
The updated policy is still at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fails_to_build_from_source.
Highlights:
- packages which FTBFS are subject to orphaning if there is no
maintainer acknowledgement within 8 weeks
- packages which FTBFS in two consecutive mass rebuilds will be
retired soon after the second mass rebuild
The second one is pretty strong one. Does it incue system packages too? If so, note that
it can be
hard to adapt some packages to new GCC or (in future) new JDK11 in short interval of two
mass rebuilds.
Thanx!
The implementation of this policy hinges on improving the releng
scripts used to create and manage FTBFS bugs. There is approximately
two months until the next use of those scripts, so I'm hopeful we'll
get them working.
If your package wasn't successfully built for F28, please fix that!
