 Replying to [ticket:3897 mattdm]:
>  We want to generate non-scratch cloud images. Because of a bug, these
 currently need to have the name of the architecture in the package. That
 will be fixed in the Real Soon Future, but in the meantime I'd like to get
 going with what we have. Could we please create koji packages named
>  {{{
>  Fedora-19-cloud-x86_64
>  Fedora-19-cloud-i386
>  Fedora-20-cloud-x86_64
>  Fedora-20-cloud-i386
>  Fedora-rawhide-cloud-x86_64
>  Fedora-rawhide-cloud-i386
>  }}}
>
>  And, we would also like to have a custom garbage collection policy for 
 these; even
though they are not scratch builds, they don't need to stay
 around forever. If we can do a nightly builds (ideal), then I think a week
 is fine; if they are weekly, keeping a month around seems good. Of course,
 longer is always better.

Comment (by ausil):

 as ive said before, we will do it when the arch bug is fixed in koji. they
 should be called just fedora not fedora-cloud. there is a version field in
 the naming that should be used so release number should not be part of the
 package name.

 when Koji is sorted we can add the packages, not before.

Comment (by mattdm):

 I would really not like to wait for the bug to be fixed, because this is
 blocking testing.

 I'm okay with just calling them "fedora", although, doesn't that make
a
 kind of ambiguous package name?

 I think that the version number _does_ belong in the name, as the version
 field should be used for the build date. However, I can also see the
 argument for, eg, "f20~nightly.20130718" as the version.

Comment (by ausil):

 builds have name version release and architecture

 so that breaks down to Fedora-20-20130718.i386

 the images are not special and can be run everywhere. they do have a
 dependency on a metadata provider. we should be providing one that can be
 used in a local deployment.

 I could see calling them Fedora-Minimal the same as we do the minimal
 image on arm.

Comment (by mattdm):

 They are not minimal images nor designed to be -- they have a special
 focus on the cloud use case. The metadata provider is part of that,
 obviously. And, I would like to see a local metadata provider, but I don't
 want to make that a blocker here in any way.

 fedora-cloud-20-20130718.i386 works for me, with fedora-
 cloud-i386-20-20130718.i386 as the temporary workaround.

Comment:

 we still can not do real builds of images in koji due to the lack of url
 support in koji's kickstart handling.  I have filed
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1217170 to track the issue
 with koji
