[EPEL-devel] Re: Continuing playground discussion

We were having a good discussion about epel8-playground in the
Steering Committee meeting this week.  Since we ran out of time I'd
like to continue it via email.

Most everyone agreed that playground is currently a bit of a mess and
it's hard to explain to end users what it is for, or when to use it.
It was also agreed that we need to decide on a plan of "this is what
playground is for" and then work to setup/cleanup/document things.

There seemed to be two main opinions of what to set the plan to.

A) epel8-playground is meant for package development and testing for
major changes.  We stop doing the "build on both epel8 and
epel8-playground", and epel8-playground packages only get built from
the epel8-playground dist-git branch.

B) epel8-playground is meant for future RHEL/CentOS testing, and thus
everything built in epel8-playground get's built off CentOS Stream.
We would continue the "build on both epel8 and epel8-playground" and
this would make sure packages would be able to build on the newer
RHEL.

Both of these plans would require epel8-playground cleanup, and
re-implementation.  Both would require work.  But the work would be
quite different with the different plans.  So until we decide which
way to go, we don't know what to do.

Thoughts on which plan to choose?  Or if there is something different?


Whatever you do, please get rid of the package.cfg file. It is very confusing 
and very annoying.
