There are two things we identified as blocking us at [1]:
a. authtag -- thing that allows non-admin users to push/import srpms 
into rpms/ namespace
b. centpkg build ready with all features hacked

Anybody knows about progress with those?

As soon as we have (a) we can import srpms into centos (should be 
script-able). Then, as soon as we have (b) and all packages built, we 
can remove copr-built RPMs from scl.org and import bits from centos.

However, there is also one feature missing on scl.org, which is to be 
able to import builds that were not built in copr. This is actually 
stuff for scl.org guys. We talked about it today and it seems there are 
more possible ways how to do this, we just need to figure out which is 
the best. This will be elaborated a bit in a separate thread.
