Nothing to worry about.

It's an implementation detail that the build reports for the multiple
targets are combined into one mail. It is like that so by default no
information about published packages is lost when there is a sync to the
master repository. If, however, a single target is pushed only, only a
single mail is sent.


It is easy to add another target to the pushscript, which must be pushed
separately and would send a separate mail.

Currently, what is executed most often is "extras-push all", which is
short for "Push.py Extras all" and "Push.py Extras 5 6 development".
Assuming plague would add a separate target, e.g. "fc7" for the freezed
pre-Fedora 7 repository, one would not add it to the default config
profile of the pushscript, but put it into a separate one. Only executing
something different then, like "Push.py FreezedExtras 7", would publish
the pending packages and send a separate mail.

Publishing individual packages is not possible without adding some more
lines of code first. It's no hurdle though. The current implementation
knows about source rpm package names (and hence about individual build job
results), but simply doesn't do any filtering and always pushes all build
results.
