Will FC6/FE6 merge / move to Koji?

[Kevin Kofler]

Will FC6/FE6 merge and move to Koji at some point? (I believe that was part of 
the original merge plan, I might be mistaken though. In any case, no date has 
been determined that I know of.) Or will the old build systems just stay up 
until Fedora 6 EOL? If a merge is planned, is there any timeframe for it yet?

Personally I would like to leave it as is.  we still need
plague for EPEL so 
by switching we wont be freeing up resources. currently plague and koji are 
co-existing on the same builders peacefully.

However, merging F6 would have some benefits:
* maintainer ignorance of Bodhi would no longer cause broken upgrade paths 
(because everything would have to go through Bodhi or not be updated at all),
* community comaintainers could push updates for FC6 packages too.

Perhaps more of a Bohdi thing ... but I'd like to have the "testing" 
branch/push capability everywhere -- including EPEL, so we have 
consistant "testing" branches everywhere we can use. That being said, 
FC-6 isn't going to be supported for crazy-long, so that need is 
probably not that urgent for backporting.

There's a need to test applications in other things than the bleeding 
edge distro, especially because they are all slightly different platforms.

Otherwise, we have to maintain seperate "testing" repos for our own apps 
on various distros -- which would be a great thing to have an 
established and comprehensive hosted build system for :)
