Then that's easy: we define a list of packages that are needed to get the package manager working, and Koji would just download and unpack them with no script execution, then it would manually run some predefined scripts and invoke the package manager after that. Aside from me doing this before to do RHEL 5 -> RHEL 7 upgrades by hand, this is also the strategy used by the openSUSE Build Service to work around this problem. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ buildsys mailing list -- buildsys@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to buildsys-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/buildsys@lists.fedoraproject.org
