I don't remember seeing any similar -testing repo for livna, rpmfusion
{other than devel, which I expect is for use with fedora-rawhide}, have
I missed that ?
-testing at rpmfusion seems to be different from livna/epel style. That
is, there is now a new set of repos: releases, updates, updates/testing,
and development.
I'd say it quite similar to epel style. It's just that the plan is to
have a additionally release repo (for spins and to use in anaconda
during install if you don't enable the updates repo). But those are
afaics outside the scope of the push scripts; my plan is to simply
create them with something like this
$ cp -l developemnt/<arch>/ releases/10/Everything/<arch>/os/
and maybe a few other commands.
Builds are put into "updates/testing" first and
moved to updates after some time.
Just like in EPEL, yes. But I'd say we'll have more relaxed rules and
will do those moves way more often then once a month. And I'd assume
that pushing directly to stable will happen more then just "now and then".
Whether it is built against
fedora updates-testing, I don't know. I have doubts that it is done.
I've thought about it and for the start chose to not include
updates-testing in the builders mock configs. Chances are IMHO way to
big to build against a Fedora updates-testings package and then pushing
the RPM Fusion package to stable before the Fedora testing update it was
build against hits Fedora stable.
But we of course can enable updates-testing quickly if we want to.
Theoretically, Plague can be set up to do real updates-testing builds.
[It can also do scratch builds, btw]. In both cases, however, additional
build targets are needed, so the build slaves pull in the updates-testing
repos. It would require more modifications, e.g. in the pushscripts (a new
method to move pkgs between repos) and something like "make build-testing"
or similar. It would be quite clumsy. [...]
Agreed. It's likely a lot of work that is not worth the trouble.
Especially as the packagers would need to put a lot of effort and
thoughts into their work to not break things accidentally...
