Oh, I forgot, Fedora no longer delivers the fix in a day but ... even not in a week. Because I usually create new build during the updates-testing week so the days start to count again. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gdb-7.2-7.fc14 Date Submitted: 2010-09-22 This update has been obsoleted by gdb-7.2-12.fc14 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gdb-7.2-12.fc14 Date Submitted: 2010-09-25 This update has been obsoleted by gdb-7.2-15.fc14 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gdb-7.2-15.fc14 Date Submitted: 2010-09-27 This update has been obsoleted by gdb-7.2-16.fc14 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gdb-7.2-16.fc14 Date Submitted: 2010-09-28 2010-10-05 13:15:39 This update has been pushed to stable
So it is not 7 days but 13 days in this case.
One has to give up on backporting new fixes to ever get any delivered.
That's not true. You can continue committing fixes and running builds in Koji; just don't submit another update until the first one goes to stable. This is analogous to the Fedora release cycle, in which in order to get one release out with sufficient testing, some fixes are deferred to the next release.
