/me agrees, it wasn't easy. Being only few days behind the primary koji
is optimal, especially for rawhide where things change very often.

Some rounds of the "build-previous" script and manual dependency fixing
coordinated between a group of people can prepare enough builds in a
reasonable time and then koji-shadow can be restarted. Other option is
to go directly with koji-shadow pointed to the dist-f15 tag in primary
koji. I have no idea what way would be more effective, but my guess
would be that using koji-shadow only will solve things like the soname
bumps automagically. A lot of manual work will be definitely needed in
both. Other important factor is the available builder and hub capacity.
