Hey everyone,
I've got two packages in F12, libtelnet and clc, where clc is dependent on a specific version of libtelnet. I pushed libtelnet 0.12 into F12-updates-testing, but I cannot get clc in. The new version of clc has a hard dependency on libtelnet 0.12, but the repo for F12 hasn't rebuilt. According to Koji, it can't rebuild the repo because now clc won't build due to the old version only building against 0.11.
How the hell am I supposed to push the update clc and fix the repo building?

You need to file a request for a buildroot override for libtelnet in F-12 at https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/
Once libtelnet 0.12 has been tagged in the buildroot, you can build the new version of clc, and then push them both as updates at once (or ask them to be tagged in the final release of F-12).

Alright, I made the ticket. Thanks, Jussi!
I recall having seen something about that before in the Wiki, but it's not explained at all in the Package Update Page at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_update_HOWTO that I see. I've run into a LOT of missing, inaccurate, or just impossible to find documentation regarding packaging in the Wiki, and given that I'm one of the people who lacks the information, I'm not exactly in the position to add and reorganize the information there.
Maybe there should be a Wiki Cleanup Day or something to sort out all the old cruft, properly organize the rules and policies, and make those new package and update guides clean, readable, complete, and awesome.
