So one specific issue that I am facing and the one manifested here is that we currently have no support in Modularity for a sidetag rebuild of non-modular and modular content. This means rebases like 'libkrb5 changed ABI in KDB plugin, thus ipa-server needs a rebuilt' or 'samba changed internal ABI that ipasam module in ipa-server depends on' cannot be handled without pushing part of the packages to the nightly compose and then rebuilding next day against it. This is what we see here. Capturing these kinds of changes and detecting that they break ABI of modular packages, thus need to be accumulated for a rebuild first would be great. There is another, more practical issue we are witnessing: synchronization between RHEL dist-git and CentOS Stream dist-git for modules currently does not mangle module definitions (e.g. idm.yaml) to refer to the correct new branch name. As result, even though the module dist-git content is synchronized, it cannot be built as its packages' refs are pointing to RHEL branch names. Branch names are versioned and change with each release, so there should be some kind of automated branch reference replacement. >> Note that if the rebuild process for such rebases could be automated, >> I'd love to be able to reuse it for RHEL too.

Ok. May be after summer holidays and when we all have time. ;) -- / Alexander Bokovoy Sr. Principal Software Engineer Security / Identity Management Engineering Red Hat Limited, Finland
