[CentOS-devel] Upstream for dist-git [RFC]

[Miroslav Suchý]

Hi,
Adam Samalík took dist-git files from fedora-infra ansible.git. He separated what belongs to dist-git itself and what is
Fedora specific and with cooperation of Dan Mach and Palo Babincak he created upstream for dist-git:

  https://github.com/release-engineering/dist-git

This is Fedora version of dist-git and already have passed first round of comments in fedora-infra.

The changes from ansible.git version are described here:
  https://github.com/release-engineering/dist-git/blob/master/changes.txt
and he extracted some code to be configuration driven:
  https://github.com/release-engineering/dist-git/blob/master/configs/dist-git/dist-git.conf

I know that CentOS is one of the user of dist-git.
It would be nice if you can contribute your changes to dist-git to this upstream and eventually use dist-git rpm package
- it passed through package review in Fedora just now.

Future plans:
 1) Listen to your initial feedback and do alternations according to your feedback.
 2) Change Fedora dist-git server to use this package.
....
 5) Enjoy the benefits of common upstream.
