Create infrastucture for building alternative composes based on ELN #40

Closed tstellar closed 4 days ago

tstellar commented 3 years ago

I'm interested in helping to create infrastructure for building alternative composes based on ELN. This follows on some of the ideas proposed on the Fedora mailing list (Alternative buildroot as a development too),(Fedora as an operating system factory).

Just to get the discussion going, one idea for implementing this is to create a secondary koji instance in Fedora that can be used for building these alternative composes. I think such a project could be broken down into the following steps:

  1. Determine resource requirements of the secondary koji instance.
  2. Submit a new initiative to Community Platform Engineering requesting the resources.
  3. Bring up secondary koji instance on the acquired resources.
  4. Create process for community members to request alternative buildroot creation.

I think the resource acquisition is going to be the most difficult part of this no matter what solution is chosen or where the resources come from, so I think it would make sense to prioritize this even if we haven't fully worked out all the other details.

Does anyone have other ideas or thoughts about this one?

We're going to look into using side tags in the Fedora koji instance for creating these alternative composes.

Is this still relevant?

No, we've switched to using COPR.
