Hi,
A few of us have been working on the basis for a buildsystem for fedora
for our non-released pkgs. This is ultimately for building ad-hoc stacks
of packages from both trusted and untrusted repos.
Use cases:
- personal repos (coprs)
- ad-hoc language-module repos (ruby, python, cpan, etc) for people who
need infinite versions of every module compiled against all of the other
possible permutations
- fail to be build from source rebuild runs.
- other ideas here.
Some discussion of it is here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Skvidal/BuildSystem
we've been meeting in #fedora-buildsys on freenode - though that's mostly
quiet right now.
When last this was discussed the koji maintainers were fairly
adamant that the above use cases was definitely outside
of the scope and goals of koji (which is entirely appropriate given what
koji does and how it does it). I was asked to reconfirm that so I am
doing it now.
I'm also letting people know that this is going on and if they want to
join in, please do so. :)
