Israwhidebroken.com Proposal

Overview

Provide a single, well-known location with information about whether or not Rawhide is broken, and a link to the last known-good Rawhide tree.

Problem Space

Sometimes Rawhide is broken. Brokenness typically comes in one of these types:

• Installer
  • Installer images missing
  • Installer doesn't work
• Repo
  • Metadata is missing
  • Package/file conflicts
  • Dependency problems
• Functional
  • Major bugs with packages in the "Critical Path" (see Critical Path Packages Proposal)

When Rawhide is broken it's much harder for people to become Rawhide testers, harder for developers to get fixes into the hands of testers, and other such badness.
