Wondering if people would be ok with including rkt in virt7 SIG repos. some folks gave this a yay on IRC, but reaching out to the mailing list as well for more votes.
rkt is _not_ in fedora yet and including it would also imply including systemd >= 220 in virt7 as it isn't present in base CentOS.
My only concerns about this would be unintended breakage due to feature changes. There's quite a bit in systemd that gets disabled or otherwise turned off. I'm okay with including it, but there should be testing with it as well.
Sure thing. systemd and rkt probably should go into a new koji tag virt7-rkt-{master,common}-* so they won't mess with the existing tags.
And we can get this tested before announcing anything :)
All the gory detail around rkt packaging for fedora can be found here: https://github.com/coreos/rkt/issues/686 . The main pending issue that fedora won't agree to right now is RE: installing the stage1 rootfs tarball at rpm install time.
Ugh, that's not overly nice. So long as this is being resolved/fixed upstream, I'm okay with it.
There was some talk of separating stage1 into its own project earlier. Can't say if this will happen for sure though.
WIP rpm files are here: https://github.com/fedora-cloud/rkt-rpm/ . I've been adding these to my copr repo here: https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/lsm5/rkt/ . markllama and lalatenduM might have something to add to this.
Guess we (me + whoever's interested) should get started with scratch builds for this like KB suggested earlier.
Thanks all for the feedback so far.
