Is there a way to opt a package out of the automatic scratch build? I don't see any toggle in Anitya or pkgdb.

There are cases where this will always fail so putting builds through is a waste of resources.

Example: Wine will never work. On a new release it relies on a version-matching patchset that is only generated about 24-48 hours after a wine release.

There's no way currently. We would need to:

1) Add a new flag to pkgdb and a way to toggle it per-package 2) Add logic to the-new-hotness to use that flag to do the right thing

I filed two RFEs to track those, if anyone wants to follow or work on them:
