Re: Bootstrapping a new architecture in koji

Hello,
Do we have a writeup on how to bootstrap a new secondary architecture in
koji ? Prebuilt binary rpms of F-10 are available and being imported into
the koji hub. But how to proceed from there to get to F-11 ?
A build loop over all source packages doesn't look like the optimal
approach to me. Do we have scripts to identify leaves in the build
dependency tree so that those can be built first before moving on the the
next level ?
And how about the package versions? I'd expect some iterations until I get
a complete set of F-11 packages and still need to keep the n-v-r t the same
level than on the primary archs. Scratch builds won't get added to the
build environment and won't help here, right ?

there is koji-shadow that is part of koji. its intended for use on
secondary
arches. Its not perfect but attempts to mimic the buildroot as close as
possible. I need to write up documentation on how to configure and use it,
along with documentation on how to setup koji for secondary arches.
you can only build a nvr once. there will be a mass rebuild of all of fedora
soon for F11 to take advantage of gcc-4.4 and newer rpm features. scratch
builds wont help.
