Tumbleweed this weekend, update e2fsprogs and watch your whole distro rebuild, that really shouldn't happen...)
One possible fix would be to only rebuild down the dependency chain, if the binary rpms changed.
Example dependency list
AAAA +------BBBB-----CCCC | +------DDDD-----EEEE
You update AAAA -> rebuild of BBBB and DDDD gets triggered. Since BBBB only uses a part of AAAA that did not change, BBBB produces identical packages which build-compare catches -> CCCC (and everything "downstream") is *not* rebuilt. DDDD uses one of the new features of AAAA and produces different binary RPMs => EEEE will be rebuilt.
I think right now everything is always rebuilt.
No, it's not. But if BBBB requires (subpackages of) AAAA for runtime , then a changed AAAA will also affect the rebuilding of CCCC, no matter if BBBB is changed or not. It's pretty much insane, but you avoid the manual rebuilds :) Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
