Comment (by pfrields):
dgilmore, lmacken, nirik, maxamillion and I met about this ticket earlier.
We arrived at the consensus that if we can cut mash time down, we could
have updates ready to push in less than an hour, possibly considerably
less. There are some Koji fixes headed upstream that could help here, but
we don't know how long they'll take. In the meantime though, we know what
the problem is they address (file permissions that require cp versus
hardlink), and lmacken is going to try those fixes this week in staging to
compare performance. Both dgilmore and kevin will consult on ansible
fixes, etc. to help out.
We know there is also some time needed for MirrorManager to invalidate old
cache, but there are a few things we can do there as well. May tweak
mirrormanager to in specific cases to point everything to master mirrors +
ibiblio for an hour or two, until more mirrors synced. This *might*
obviate the need for a separate repo. We're keeping the separate repo on
the table as an alternative. Everyone agreed we can and should have this
fixed before F24 Beta.
