Hi Folks,
2/ CentOS 8 buildroot
When 1/ is done we can create an C8 buildroot without enabling the Appstream repo.
Due to the nature of Appstream, and how koji uses mergerepo (--koji)/updaterepo/mock, more work is needed to get a working buildroot.
I don't fully understand the underlying issue so comments are very welcome to enlighten us !
One of the solution found by Fedora team is to split Appstream per repository and enable only the one needed in a specific buildroot [3].
We are evaluating the tools. And see if we can use koji external-repo or tag inheritance to achieve it (which is mbox solution [4])
However for a community build service, we don't know exactly what people will build and what Appstream packages will be needed in each buildroot (we have 290 targets at this time for C7). So we still need time and new ideas :-)
- Status: Investigating possible solutions.
Hi,
since I keep hearing interest of building SIG packages for CentOS 8, is there an update on this topic?
