In just a few minutes, I will begin the scripted rebuild of every Fedora package in rawhide (dist-f11). See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Mass_Rebuild for details.
Most importantly, if you as a maintainer wish to build your own package for this rebuild instead of having the script do it, follow https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Mass_Rebuild#How_do_I_opt_out_of_th...
The script will be doing things one package at a time, so even though the script will be starting in a few minutes (and it'll be working alphanumerically in descending order), you still have a window to opt-out of the build before the script gets to your package.
I will be announcing the progress of the rebuilds over the next few days. It is important to note that the results of the rebuilds will not be showing up in rawhide (and koji buildroots) immediately. Instead they will be contained on the side until the script is finished building things, and they will be tagged into rawhide (dist-f11) en masse.
If your build was started after 2009-02-23 18:31:07 UTC, the script will not touch your package, as that is after all the proper parts were in place for this rebuild.
Let the games begin!

The best made plans...
Turns out there was an error in my script and the first few packages rebuilt did actually make it into dist-f11. I have corrected the script and the rest of the builds are headed toward dist-f11-rebuild. Sorry for any confusion this causes.
