Yes, I mentioned Prow which does something similar. https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/tree/master/prow Which as I noted we use today in OpenShift and are moving to use in the CoreOS group as well. > I'm surprised you didn't realize these issues.

You're right that there are tradeoffs; I think the best is probably something closer to what OpenEmbedded is doing with "layered" repos, not one gigantic dist-git repo. It certainly seems to me the current Fedora setup is basically just inertia from the first dist-cvs -> dist-git conversion; no one really in the intervening time has had the power/will to change the underlying layers, just add new layers on top. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
