Even though I am NFV SIG chair, I am still learning.

We have a package, fd.io/vpp  that is in the NFV SIG may eventually be part of RHEL. As part of the planning process RHEL RCM is asking for the URL to push packages back to Centos.

What URL or mechanism does RHEL use to push sources to Centos?

Do they use cbs? Does this happen by way of the CentOS git?

Do we need a CentOS git account for NFV SIG?

How do you handle this in Cloud SIG?


I'm not sure about the question but iiuc, a package that you are currently building in NFV (https://cbs.centos.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=567 ? ) is being added to RHEL. If that's the case, once it's shipped by Red Hat, it will be added to CentOS repos with some delay (as i guess this new package will be added in a new minor release, it may take some weeks). I'm not familiar with the build process for CentOS base bug afaik, this doesn't  need any action from SIGs and it's not done in CBS.

Note that the packages you pushed to CentOS SIG will be kept in CentOS mirrors so, if you want that users use the build from CentOS base repos, I'd recommend to:

- Check if NVR for packages in RHEL is higher that in CentOS. 
- Upgrade path from builds in NFV SIG to new package in CentOS works fine.
- Repo containing the new CentOS build is enabled by default (this is normally the case) and you don't have conflicting yum priorities or things like that in your repos.
- Note that, as packages are not actually removed from centOS mirrors, i'd recommend not to untag published builds from existing tags.

Please, let us know if you have any other question.
