Make your own experiment (i.e rebuild your own clone) and document/report back what you find out as the proper order of rebuild of the upstream SRPMS ?
So having everyone repeat the same mistakes with no coordination is your idea of doing things faster?
who is everyone?
I might throw some time and equipment at it if I knew I wasn't re-inventing square wheels (or even round ones for that matter). And I suspect that others smarter than I am would do the same and maybe even improve the approach by coming up with ways to predict the build environment needed to reproduce a given binary to reduce the trial-and-error time.
Same answer for you than I made for Dag, volonteer to coordinate, build, write scripts, publish *your* work and you will be helping your fellows.
But I don't see this happening if the process stays closed any more than I think there would be a useful Linux today - or most of the packages comprising Red Hat's product - if development had not been open and shared.
I only see wasted time talking, no actions. I will be happy to be proven wrong.
