We are aiming for something similar what you just described. I created this wiki page to describe the work briefly: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CI/source-git The actualy work is happening here now: https://github.com/user-cont/source-git We would love to take development off dist-git (but keep dist-git!) and move it to git repos with real source code which match upstream repositories. In such repo you have branches which track respective Fedora versions -- you can easily cherry pick fixes. We would validate every pull request in such repo and stuff would get merged only when it passes testing. Right now we are trying to write minimal code to make such thing work, evaluate it and present at devconf.cz to get some more feedback. Hopefully we would utilize clime's work to help with changelogs and release numbers: https://pagure.io/rpkg-util/pull-request/15 Tomas _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
