[CentOS-devel] The future of the community build services

Hi Folks,

It's time to have a look to the SIGs and the community needs for the 
next version of the community build service(cbs). We would like to 
request feedback and know if the different communities plan on using 
modular builds, and what would be their timeline to be able to produce 
C8 artifacts (rpms, imagefactory builds, etc...).

As you know Koji is now used to build CentOS 8 [1], and is based on
the mbbox [2] distribution.

It makes sense for cbs.centos.org to follow this trend and be based on 
the same templates.

At the same time we needed to evaluate how and where we can deploy the 
new Openshift based templates, and associated builders for different arches.

It's understood that the transition between both systems should be 
smooth and do not impact your C6/C7 builds and release cycle. We will 
plan accordingly.

Please let us know, if you have comments and/or new ideas.
