cmd-build: add --autolock=VERSION #3701

Closed jlebon closed 7 months ago

jlebon commented 7 months ago

Currently, cosa build will enable autolocking automatically if it detects that it's completing a multi-arch build on an unlocked stream (as is the case in RHCOS when e.g. building aarch64 after the x86_64 build).

However, there is another use case for autolocking where we want to create a new build, possibly on the same arch, but reuse the previous build as a base lockfile. This comes up in Bodhi testing, where we want to test the Bodhi update with the only change from a known working build being the new packages.

For this, add an explicit --autolock, because we don't want cosa build to try to auto-detect this.

I guess this assumes that the buildinfo for that version has been buildfetched already..
