Dear list,

I've tagged v0.28.0 of rebuilderd and started preparing packages:

https://github.com/kpcyrd/rebuilderd/releases/tag/v0.28.0

* On request by the Debian Release team, the cut-off limit for very long build 
logs has been changed so the tail of the build log is still retained (using a 
ring buffer) and only the middle of the build log is discarded. This preserves 
the final conclusion of e.g. debrebuild. Build logs that fit inside the 
configured `build.max_bytes` limit are always retained in full.

* Rebuild Fedora packages with fedora-repro-build, patch by Jelle van der Waa.

* New `include=` configuration rules, which allows filtering (among other 
things) by source package name.

* Workers can advertise build-support for a `*` architecture to indicate build 
support for any architecture. This is useful for OpenWrt, which cross-compiles 
their builds.

* When requeuing packages, the source package name is now optional, which allows 
queuing by e.g. architecture.

* When no explicit version filter is set for manual requeuing, only packages 
currently present in the package databases are queued (instead of all packages 
the rebuilderd instance has observed and attempted in the past).

* Fixes in merge.sql by Jochen Sprickerhof.

Sincerely,
kpcyrd
