 when last the kde-sig used normal buildroot overrides for a kde-stack
 update, there seemed to be a lot of confusion and errors made from other
 maintainers.  It's been suggested a couple of times to use custom tags
 /build-target for this.

there's a kde-4.4.1 update on the works, so was wondering if the kde-sig
 could try this potentially safer method this time around.

dgilmore also suggested that the new tag use chain-builds too (I assume by
 self-poplulating, to avoid explicit overrides).

what do others think (worth it or not)?

Comment (by jkeating):

I'm fine with it.  Users will have to remember to add a --target option to
 the koji call, or KOJI_FLAGS="--target dist-f??-kde" to the make calls.

The first repo creation for this new tag will be costly, and will continue
 to have some cost on the system, so ask for it ahead of time, but not too
 far ahead of time.

cool, we'd like to get started using such asap for kde-4.4.1 landing soon.

What kind of time frame to implement it?

Well it takes a couple minutes to setup the tags, and a couple hours
 probably for the newRepo to finish, and then it'll be ready.

What releases will 4.4.1 be landing in?

Comment:

dist-f1{1,2,3}-kde411 has been created as a build target and collection
 tag.  Anything built into one of those tags will get added to the
 buildroot for those tags.  They inherit from dist-f1{1,2}-updates and
 dist-f13 respectively.

are the initial newRepo tasks.  Once those are done, building can
 commence.

Let me know if you run into any issues.

Comment (by rdieter):

for posterity, what I ended up using first was doing:
 make build TARGET=dist-f13-kde441
 or
 make chain-build CHAIN="..." TARGET==dist-f13-kde441
