Hi,
I've got two packages (gala, wingpanel) that have broken dependencies in F27
because of unfortunate timing:
1. GNOME 3.24 prerelease broke builds just in time for the mass rebuild,
2. upstream took a few days to come up with fixed support for GNOME 3.24,
3. I built fixed packages and they have been in rawhide and
f27-updates-testing for some time now,
4. but I can't push them to stable because of the beta freeze that went into
effect.
Now I get daily, angry automated e-mails that tell me to fix my sh!t ASAP
because of broken deps in the F27 tree.
I haven't yet had to deal with a problem like this ever before, what's the
right course of action?
Just sitting on my hands (and on broken packages) until the beta freeze is
lifted doesn't feel like the right thing to do.
Well people can get the fixes via update-testing which is enabled by
default on F-27 so they're not really broken, really the only annoying
thing is the emails.
