That was basically what I proposed in that thread earlier :<br>
<paste><br>
Just wondering : if people would like to consume epel pkgs, but still<br>
want to cherry-pick which version of pkgs they need/want : what about :<br>
- creating tag/targets for epel (but not building *any* pkg there)<br>
- rsync (without any delete) epel<br>
- use "koji import" to import all epel pkgs, and also new versions when<br>
new pkgs appear<br>
<br>
That would mean : nothing to build on cbs, and people can just "cbs<br>
tag-build" existing imported pkgs.<br>
<br>
Would that work for everybody ?<br>

<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yeap, that'd work for me. The only potential issue i see is conflicting NVRs between CBS rebuilt packages vs imported from epel. i.e. if some SIG has rebuilt a package with same NVR from epel with some fix for any reason, i understand that'd fail to import, right?<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
We just import all EPEL pkgs, keep all versions and people can tag the<br>
ones they need/want/have tested :-)<br>
