Hi there,
I've been a bit perplexed by the Fedora updates recently (talking
about
F-21 specifically). Many of them appear to be obsolete the moment
they
hit stable, sometimes even testing.
Take the kernel, for instance. 3.19.2-201.fc21 replaced the previous
build in bodhi on the 24th. It is still not in testing as I'm writing
this (although the updates system says it is). Take Firefox.
Submitted
on 23rd, took 3 days to appear anywhere where "regular" folks can
test
it (which is actually stable). Then there are updates (e.g. dovecot)
that have been built in koji, but appear nowhere, probably because
person that built it forgot to submit it.
Can we create a fedora-updates-newbuild repo or something, which
would
have a different key used for signing (i.e. not the one where a human
does the signing) and could be accessed using yum pretty much
immediately after the build has been created and flagged to go into
this
repo if it succeeds?
So, something like:
fedpkg build --push-to-newbuild
Stoopid? Irrelevant? Exists but I'm not aware of it?
'koji download-build EVR' works for me. You *can* find repo
definitions for 'all non-scratch builds for release X', I think, but
they have limited capacity as they all come straight from Koji, and
they're not mashed for multiarch.
There is also a 'koji-download-scratch' that lives in fedora-review
which can be handy for grabbing scratch builds.
