I think what could help a lot in making rawhide more usable day-to-day,
would be if we had some way to publish 'raw stuff' in easily
installable, packaged form for others to try out without forcing it
immediately onto the wider rawhide community. Like PPAs...
That would allow us to develop and test new features with rawhide, but
only merge them into rawhide when they are stable enough.
For the record I wouldn't like that. I hate PPAs. They're a hideous
idea. So, that's not what I'm proposing =) I think in general you can
push Exciting Stuff into the real development repository in a workable
way.
Still - can't you send a build to Koji in a way which stops it actually
being published to any repository? And doesn't that achieve what you're
proposing?
