No other SIG commented on the proposal so I guess Peter that you win !
Going once, going twice ....
As I started to work on a checklist with Adam Samalik for the CentOS Stream 8 EOL process, I was wondering about *when* we want to start moving the SIG content that is built for/against RHEL8 to mirror.stream.centos.org : either we do it when Stream 8 is EOL (next month ?) or end of June (when CentOS 7 itself goes EOL)
Personally that doesn't change anything for me, apart from a date when the needed releng script process should be pushed, but from a SIG perspective, (and surely for people/users consuming these packages) it should be properly announced/communicated.
So what are SIGs' chairs thinking about that ? (basically SIGs that opted in for rhel8 buildroots back when it was proposed as an option : https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issues?status=all&tags=cbs-rhel8-buildroo...)
For me both dates are fine, with a slight bias towards next month.
Just a thought as we have to keep in mind that there are not really many (or any?) centos-release-* packages for content built for rhel8 targets (there is no extras8-extras-common-el8 build target): How much work would it be to have content pushed to both locations for a period of time, e.g., starting now until Stream 8 is EOL? This would allow users to start updating their configurations now.
I'll not modify the existing releng/sign/push process to just that "corner case" but instead I'll have a (temporary) cron job on the main reference mirror for mirror.stream.centos.org that will keep both in parallel. So still pushing to location that is authoritative for http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/ but primary server (authoritative) will keep also in sync content for https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/8/ It's already implemented so you can start communicating new URLs for your users :-)
PS: wondering about the *debuginfo* and *src.rpm* packages though : actually these are still pushed to debuginfo.centos.org and vault.centos.org. Would be worth consolidating when c8s is EOL to also start composing repositories with all in one repositories (so like for 9s ? )
