Hello,

When using custom side tags like this:

time, (e.g. 10+ minutes). That is not comfortable for the package maintainer
-- it's faster to use buildroot overrides.

I wonder if the initial createrepo could be skipped entirely by symlinking /
copying / using the already available repository from the base (parent) tag.

That could make this workflow more attractive.


The sidetag plugin code is in upstream koji. This sounds like a great
RFE for koji then?

I don't know why it's not done that way, there might be a reason or
might be an oversight, but please file a RFE on it? :)

Side note: I recall when normal newrepos took like 40-45min (and we had
a lot less packages then), so 10min seems nice to me. But I agree if it
could be made mostly instant that would be great for this case.
