There are a few variants out there, goosepkg (https://github.com/gooseproject/goosepkg), which I wrote for doing the same sort of things with koji. I was convinced of doing this by Mathieu Bridon, who wrote nbpkg (https://github.com/network-box/nbpkg) for his former company.

I just thought it might be helpful for bugs and other ideas when dealing with lookaside and git repo issues. One thing I think would be nicer than it currently is would be to rewrite the git portions into libgit2. When rpkg and fedpkg came to be, this ilibrary was not a real option.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

herlo

I agree with KB, this is great. We had kicked around the idea of this
for something to investigate once 7 was out the door and the frenzy
around a new major release had died down a bit. That you've gone and
started it already is fantastic.

I'm certainly very interested in this, as it would help make things
simpler and more consistent across the various communities.

We have a number of users who contribute or build for both fedora and
centos. Giving them a common tool keeps the complexity down. Good work
and please continue!
