The maintainer responsible for the push already apologized publicly for pushing to stable: http://cgwalters.livejournal.com/22189.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-December/msg00812.html Pushing to stable was not intended and was done by mistake. Shall I have him brought to the Board Room and flogged for his incompetence? Mistakes happen. I very much expect Colin will be making a personal extra effort to careful for awhile, to ensure he doesn't make that sort of mistake again. > Why wasn't the change > *REVERTED* immediately? That's a question I don't have an answer for. Epoch could have been bumped to handle the version downgrade for a reversion. I think this was the first mention of reverting the dbus update that I have seen in discussion. I will say that there is a general problem in reverting. Once a package is in the wild, and a subset of affected packages are submited as updates to match it, reverting may not be a silver bullet as it would require reverting subsequent updates. I don't know if this is the case. Reverting policy is something for FESCo to talk about I think. -jef -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
