Is there a way to see if there are going to be huge updates?
Not that I know of. We have something like 1500 package maintainers and
~17,000 packages. Some of them are large, some of them update more
often than others, etc.
Perhaps it would help to plan around pushing relatively more
important
updates by seeing what is the load on the machinery. In this
particular case I'm after we have CVEs to publish co-related with
RHEL advisory which went out yesterday so Fedora updates just got
into a wave of texlive, but for future doing FreeIPA releases we may
simply see if moving release a day or two into future would allow us
to escape the wave.
Yeah, I'm not sure how to coordinate that. I guess we could ask
maintainers of those large packages to tell us when they are going to
update... or ask them to do their builds and wait a few days before
submitting the update (as then you could just watch for fedmsg on
them).
However, I'll note that the recent texlive updates were security as
well. ;)
