So my understanding is that the problem relies on the fact that there isn't even a policy around Extras repository now. So it's up to the people allowed to build/sign/push to know what they'll add in Extras, and only in the arches they care about.
https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories has a definition for the Extras repos. on C7 it should include what is upstream in the Extras/ repos ( provided we are able to build it ), and other things that are needed sometimes to build content in base /
updates.
In addition to this, Extras should contain all centos-release-* files from the SIG's.
The only other content that should make it into Extras should be content vetted by the core sig, considered fundamental to user experience or tooling for user experience. ie. a fairly high barrier to entry.
Does that give us enough policy wording for Extras ? Do we have exceptions we need to work through ?
Sounds good. So with that definition in mind, how can we be sure that Extras is then built/distributed in parallel for all arches, so that then it can be safely enabled within CBS ?

Adding here notes I sent in a different thread, for reference. I'm facing some discrepancies in repositories structure for ppc64le.
In x86_64 qemu-kvm-ev is shipped within http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/virt/x86_64/kvm-common/ which is the path I was expecting. Now, looking at ppc64le I see it shipped within: http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/extras/ppc64le/Packages/ and being extras enabled by default it overrides qemu-kvm shipped by core os. Can we at least replicate the same structure between http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7 and http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7 ?
Any update?
next, I see cockpit available for x86_64 in http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64/Packages/ but it's missing in http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/extras/ppc64le/Packages/
I see cockpit in fedora ppc64le: https://koji.fedorapr oject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=869569 so it should be possible to get it on centos as well. Can you please build it?
Any update?
