I think it only makes any sense to replace Bodhi as part of a larger workflow redesign which is properly resourced and which *considers Fedora's requirements from the start*, not as a kind of late add-on, as unfortunately tends to be the case with RH efforts lately. Bodhi is very deeply integrated into the Fedora build process. Stuff like the package tag back-and-forth with the package signer is very specific. It literally runs Fedora composes itself (the updates-testing composes). I don't have any confidence that any team that's *basically* writing something for RHEL but says "oh yeah, we can do Fedora too!" is going to produce something usable as a replacement without huge amounts of effort on our part (much more than it would take to maintain Bodhi). If we actually do re-design the whole Fedora build process around Konflux, for e.g., it would make sense to look at whether it's feasible to engineer Bodhi out at that point (and whether it actually saves time and effort over just integrating Bodhi into the new process). I don't see any value in trying to replace it within the current process though. Any resources available for that should just be spent maintaining/improving Bodhi (it's an open source project, the ticket tracker is right there, go fix some bugs!) -- Adam Williamson (he/him/his) Fedora QA Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @[email protected] https://www.happyassassin.net -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] 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/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new
