I can (and do) build --scratch packages in koji. I can't do real builds in EPEL because there are downstream packages in RHEL. But whether I build them there or in Copr it's still not the same as having them in the CentOS $sig repos and have them be installable using the $package-repo RPM from Extras. It's about convenience for the end users, one stop shopping, the appearance of legitimacy and the cachet of being a part of CentOS, etc. Which was the point of putting our packages in the (Storage) SIG in the first place. Asking us to build them in EPEL or Copr is a step backwards. -- Kaleb -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
