In the case I was remembering they were forks and say inside them that
they satisfy anything >= 3.9. Normally you would only have one in a
buildroot but you could have alternatives in modules because they each
fixed something specific to that module. If you tried to install both
modules you would get conflicts so only one module was to be installed
at a time.. However, Koji doesn't know that.. one solution method only
knows NEVR, Provides and Requires and another tries to use a bit of
dnf to do resolutions but that seemed to act weirdly also.

In the case where they are all foobar but say foobar-4.0 or foobar4 is
in a non-default module, then koji and dnf might come again to
different conclusions of what is needed to be in the buildroot. The
only mental solution I could come up with was that there would need to
be some tool to put all modules (and bare rpms dependent on them) into
a RHEL-modularity tree and somehow import that into MBS so that it
could deal with them. That would then allow for both EPEL modules to
depend on them, and keep them out of the way for koji regular builds.
The major problems with that was
a) no perl/python/ruby/etc in non-modular builds (all that would be
available is platform-python)
b) it would break Fedora build system in ways because it assumes what
is in its toolkit was built by it and we are faking these.

In any case, it is a conundrum wrapped up in an enigma surrounded by a puzzle.

Is the foobar/foobaz/foobax intended or are they typos ?
If they are intended, then I think we have a partially ordered set of
packages, ie it isn't always possible to say whether a > b or a < b.

Without knowing anything about koji, I'd say that whilst
foobaz and foobax can provide foobar (and perhaps foobar==3)
they cannot satisfy foobar>=3.9 (unless they are forks or

Things have probably improved, but the lesson I learned from EPEL-8
and afterwords was that koji depsolving is weird no matter how set up.
Koji sets up mock environments in a way that will do fine as long as
there are NO modules in the repositories it is looking at. Once a
module, even a non-default module, is there things start to go wonky
because the way that koji depsolves will say that
'foobaz-3.10.1-3+module' is a better solution than
'foobax-3.9.4.' it will then try to pull that in and boom you
end up with broken builds. You can change the method that koji chooses
packages to be in the buildroot, but the other option ends up trying
to insert things like foobax-3.9.4-i386 into an x86_64  or still does
the modular change but chooses foobar-2 due to some depsolv quirk.

At the moment I think building without grobisplitter will work, but I
am thinking some other solution will need to be made when EL9.x starts
rolling out with modules in it.

I've verified this with my internal build infrastructure, so yes, I
know it's not required.

Admittedly, it's not a Koji system, but I'm also not enabling any
modules in my build environment right now. I'm rebuilding content from
Rawhide targeting CentOS Stream 9 to get a list of initial EPEL 9
packages to build for work, which is how some of my requests to add
stuff to CRB have come about[1][2][3].

This can also be verified when using something like mock with
mock-core-configs v36 or higher, because I made the necessary
adjustments to test building on CentOS Stream 9 the same way that
Fedora Koji and the CentOS CBS would.

run-time dependencies:
That's always been a problem, even without the buildroot.
But I will also be writing a "will it install" to go along with "will it
build"

build-time dependencies:
Grab the root.log of the package build, and parse it.
This gets around any hidden and dynamic BuildRequires.
I've already written code that does this for Content Resolver, and checked
it against traditional dnf/libsolve dependency generation.
It was 98% equal, and those 2% were on packages where it was possible for
more than one package to be installed for a dependency, and for that, I'd
prefer going with the root.log.

I think I've got everything I need already written, just in three separate
projects.
I really want to pull that code together and make "willit"

That is the theory, yes, that grobisplitter isn't required.
But nobody was able to say that was for certain.  Thus, it needs to be
tested.

How are we going to know whether all the build-time and run-time
packages are in the normal repos? We need to check generated
dependencies too, especially now that it's possible to have dynamic
BuildRequires!

With the retirement of the container-tools default module,
grobisplitter will not be required at all unless we want to use it to
support non-default modules.

This was discussed at the EPEL Steering Committee meeting.  Here is the
summary.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

epel9-next:
 - starts off building off CS buildroot
 - I will write a "check if all build packages are in the normal repos"
checker, called "will it build" [1]

epel9:
 - Use normal RHEL 9 repos (AppStream, BaseOS, CRB)

Checks/Tests/Future:  (It's a little fuzzy on the timing of these)

 - grobisplitter
 -- see if we really need to use grobisplitter
 -- I'm a little fuzzy on how or when we are going to test this

 - "will it build"
 -- After a period of time, check and see if we are happy with the
combination of CS buildroot + "will it build" ?
 --- Yes - determine if we want to keep it like this even after epel9
 --- No - determine when the best/safest time to switch to normal repos

Troy

[1] - I plan on integrating "will it build" with a "will it install"
checker.  It will be called "will it" or "willit".  I'm sorta excited about
doing this.  It's something I've wanted to do for a long time and I think
I've finally got it figured out.

We should only use the buildroot repo for as long as we need to. The
*sooner* we can switch to the published content, the better.

*this is worth a discussion in todays EPEL Steering Committee Meeting*

It sounds like the epel9-next is going to startup by building against the
CS buildroot.  Changing it at this time would cause a delay.

Thus we need to write some "verify build deps are released" checker.  I
have an idea of how to do this, so I'm willing to volunteer to write and
run something.

But, it would be good to have some discussion to determine if we want to
keep using the CS buildroot for epel9-next, always.  Or if we want to use
it just as a bootstrap mechanism, and then switch to building just off the
available CentOS Stream repos at some point.

Thoughts?
Should we always use buildroot?  Or just keep up until we're fairly stable?

Ideally, yes because it's an extreme pain to deal with them post-GA.
Red Hat's policies around this stuff is such that after 9.0, they can
only be introduced in 6 month intervals (that is, we have to wait for
9.1 for them to show up in EPEL9). We should *never* use the buildroot
repository for EPEL-Next because it massively complicates discovering
this stuff and getting it straightened out immediately. Unlike CentOS
SIGs that only build for CentOS Stream, EPEL needs to work on RHEL,
and Red Hat will *never* ship the buildroot repo for RHEL, because it
opens up the door for things to depend on that content, which is
highly problematic for them.

I wonder whether we should file those before it is out, if at all possible?
