So far in Copr, there is "inherited" git branch naming from Fedora's dist-git, i.e. 'f24' for fedora 24, el5 for 'epel-5' and epel7 for 'epel-7'. The chroots in Fedora Copr are named 'fedora-N-ARCH' or 'epel-N-ARCH', today there started 'mageia-N-ARCH' chroots (with mga6, shouldn't there be mag6?). But Copr is not supposed to be used by Fedora only.
The problem I internally solved/workaround-ed are RHEL chroots. Those are named 'rhel-VERSION-ARCH'. To have it done there are several patches (against dist-git, backend, and front-end packages). The problem, for example is, that 'el6' branch is "by default" allocated for 'epel-6-ARCH' chroots, and can not be used by RHEL. There are multiple versions of RHEL-6 too (like rhel-6.dev-x86_64). I'm curious whether we could "rename" the existing branches to some more consistent, "future-friendly" strings. For example: -> 'fedora/25' (the actual f25) -> 'fedora/rawhide' (the actual master) -> 'centos/7' (the actual epel7) -> 'centos/6' (the actual el6) -> 'mageia/6' (the actual mga6) -> 'epel/7' (doesn't exist yet ..) -> 'rhel/version' (exists internally ..) For OCD like me, it would be really pretty having it "cleanly" named, but it would be also useful for 'chroot-id <-> branch-name <-> dist-tag' converting (which now requires downstream _code_ patching, not only configuration). Also, if we used such naming, there's no need to think again what the 'master' branch is used for ... (rhel? fedora? epel?) and for the future, adding other distributions (or complements for say rpmfusion) would be easy. I don't remember why I chose 'fedora/25' "downstream" instead of 'fedora-25', it IMO doesn't matter, and as I have it already done O:-) I prefer '/' separator. But that basically doesn't matter. Anyway --> is something like that acceptable upstream? I have patches for it already (this would require copying branches within existing git repositories). There is plan B: propose this patches but add options turning this behavior on/off, whatever default we'll choose. While we are on that, could we discuss renaming from 'epel-*' to 'centos-*'? Because we don't tell the truth entirely if we claim those are epel-* chroots.
