Hi Cloud SIG,
With every OpenStack release (and also with CentOS 8 stream), we have to rebuild some OpenStack packages to be installed at CERN.
Those packages carry downstream patches for integration into our environment. While building those, we have observed that there are some packages that are required to build but are not provided in the testing repositories, for example openstack-macros
In the past, we were using trunk.rdoproject.org/centos8-wallaby but it seems that those packages are not there.
While looking into cbs.centos.org, I saw them on this tag
cloud8s-openstack-wallaby-el8-build
Would it be possible to have the dependencies available in the testing repo or to have access to that build repository, at least to build the main OpenStack components?

Well, nothing stops you from downloading directly pkgs from koji ? :-) I guess that Cloud SIG just have these in -build tag as needed as BuildRequires: , reason why they are not tagged for -testing or -release (as not needed at runtime)
But if you have a look at koji/cbs, you can find/download directly. Example for a particular openstack macros ENVR : openstack-macros-2020.1.2-1.el8 Searching for openstack-macros leads to plenty of links, including that one : https://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=30772
There is a direct link but one can use `cbs download-build 30772` to also directly fetch pkg if needed
That's at least a workaround for you
