Bodhi is a nice interface to create multi-builds update from
side-tags,
but it is not really optimized for massive updates. In the past we had
some troubles pushing updates with a lot of builds. There are too many
things done in the background that can break while processing a massive
update and making Bodhi more reliable is not so simple.
I wonder if it would be safe to set a cap to the number of builds a
single Bodhi update can carry. I think **really** massive updates (say
more than 99 builds?) should be handled manually asking Releng to merge
the side-tag manually.
I'd prefer you didn't limit them to such a low number. OCaml updates
have ~ 180 packages
(
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2022-d3e15b41f5) and
it's a lot easier to do the push myself rather than have to ask
someone. And I will have to remember each time _how_ to ask someone,
since I do this infrequently enough that I'll forget each time.
What is the actual problem and could it be fixed instead?
I'd like to hear someone else opinion, especially from FESCo and
Releng
members. Meanwhile I'll keep an eye on the recent massive Golang update
(which carries 315 builds...) to see if it shows any hiccups. (I'm quite
surprised it didn't screw up already)
315 builds doesn't strike me as being that massive TBH.
