Reasons for not doing this in the past were: 1. Extra load on koji for downloading for software to developers. Koji has a complex caching system which is finicky. Making it more friendly for builders makes it less friendly for users. Making it more friendly for users makes it worse for builders. 2. Extra software to break and needing support from admins to track down. We already get a daily set of "why did my scratch build not show up?" Every time createrepo blows up it is going to cause problems that need to be dealt with. 3. Extra disk space on something which is running at 90+% of N TB most of the time. You are looking at a repository for every package all the time.. several hundred thousand repositories. 4. Tight release schedules on trying to deliver all the other things which means we can't implement the cleanups we have put off for N months because we needed one more thing added. 5. People wanting larger and larger sub repositories. One of the reasons copr got built was because people thought they only needed 1 package but it quickly became "I need these 12 packages to actually test this 1 thing". You could have 12 repos activated with 12x the load on the koji server.. or you could have 1 repo with those 12 packages in it. I can only look at this and say "We already have a tool for this.. its called copr" If copr does not have something that works for ostree, it would be better to work on getting it there. -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
