All other things being equal inside a project - and having watched for some considerable time some of these re-builds, I would love to see re- builds prioritised by the number of packages that depend on them (the number 'blocking' on it or somesuch I guess) too. #2: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2010-02-20 13:48:07) (reply to #1) Factory is currently configured/prefered to steam roll the other projects actually on purpose. But yes, dispatcher prioritisation based on weight values (and not absolute like Prefer X) is part of this request. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308756
