I don't think a special build target will help bootstrapping things. for that, you'll likely need to provide both the new and old gdbm sonames somehow, either in a single monolithic gdbm package, or via some sort of (temporary) compat-gdbm rpm

Well, I wasn't much verbose about updating process, but this is my plan:
1. build python and perl WITHOUT gdbm support
2. build a new gdbm
3. build python and perl WITH gdbm support again

Then merge the new target with rawhide and build other packages against a new gdbm.

I've tested this on my localhost and it works. Sure, I can do the same in Rawhide directly, but I'd rather do it safely using the target.

OK, as long as "tested this on my localhost" meant you did you using mock. :)

Yes, I did it using mock and then installed the built RPMs in VM to test that all dependencies are fine.

OK, f17-gdbm tag/target created, wait for

to complete, then kick off your new builds,
fedpkg build --target f17-gdbm

Great, thank you for now, I'll let you know, as soon as all builds are ready.

all of this really should just be done in rawhide. side tags make it harder for secondary arches. and the cost of newRepos really outweighs any benefits for such a small number of packages.

No problem by me, just wanted to take less risk. Since no packages have been built yet, I can still do the thing only in Rawhide if you prefer -- just let me know which way should I go now, please :)

Let's go with rawhide then. i'll nuke the target.

feel free to holler on irc if you need assistance or anything goes wrong. :)
