By design, Plague can build from _either_ SRPMS _or_ CVS checkouts. It would need modifications to make it support both. One could change the design and make it a convention, that when it runs in CVS checkout mode, any SRPMS sent to it are built only for scratch targets. Plague isn't Koji. And it doesn't make any sense to try to duplicate all of koji's features. Especially not if there are concrete plans on migrating to koji+bodhi+mash. The question is not "can it do this and that?", but "what do we want it to do?" and "what is necessary to achieve that?".

No (as discussed earlier in this thread). And I for one don't understand where the realy benefit of above would be. If a package doesn't work on one of the archs then the packager will notice it when the package gets build for the first time in the buildsys. So he'll get aware of any build problems and needs to fix them. But don't reply don't that para please. It's just my opinion and others obviously think differently. CU knurd

It would not be a lot of work to duplicate the existing target config files, rename them to *-scratch.cfg, set "testing = yes" and a "-testing" alias, and leave it to the packagers to use these extra build targets with "plague-client build ..." manually instead of using "make build". If popular enough, I'm sure somebody will contribute a Makefile* modification to make it more convenient (and e.g. construct the build target alias on-the-fly if $BUILD_FLAGS contains --scratch). > BTW, here it poor mens scratch build for RPM Fusion: Kick of a build, > watch it closely and kill it once the last arch finished (and before its > downloaded -- if you miss that point drop me a line and I'll delete the > package from the needsign repo) It's the wrong approach IMO. A human bottle-neck where things could be automated. I'd rather make available the Plague configuration in RPM Fusion svn and be open for contributed changes.

rpmfusion mockbuild service ?
As far as I'm aware, packagers don't have access to be able to request rebuild of a .src.rpm package in mock, aka fedora. Would it be difficult to setup/maintain ? Would more processor/storage hardware be required to make such a think available ? DaveT.
