Yes, I'm +1 to just dropping the package.

I see it as kind of a hangover from the old idea that the release tree
itself should contain everything necessary to reproduce it, but we've
never really completely honored that, so it doesn't seem worth worrying
about.

Thats what we used to do, but it has a bunch of process overhead. 

Someone has to file a blocker bug on it, it gets voted on and approved,
then the package update has to be made, submitted, karma and request to
go stable. 

A few times in the past we _have_ made kickstart changes during rc's,
then it means we have to update the package and do all the overhead
again. 

I'm just not sure what utility the package has, wouldn't everyone just
get it from git and make sure they have the latest?

Yes, Freeze exception, forever.

I'm currently using that package especially, using symlinks to
officials kickstarts in that package. Everything will go to trash
now... :(

Is there a reason we couldn't just automatically update the package
once we're in freeze so that it has what we're shipping? By the time
we're down to the wire for final freeze, we're not changing the
kickstarts that often.

spin-kickstarts package

2022-11-23 Thread Kevin Fenzi
Greetings everyone. 

So, we used to have a release requirement that we package up and release
along side the release a spin-kickstarts rpm package with the current
kickstarts used for that release. 

This resulted in a bunch of last minute scrambling and blockers, and
even then, we often pushed fixes after release and people would get the
out of date one in the package and get confused. 

So, we changed that requirement, but then since there was no
requirement, we haven't really been updating the rpm much. 
(see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2144207 )

I'd like to just retire the rpm package and point folks to the git repo.
I think this will get people up to date versions of things,
and avoid pointlessly updating a package. 

Anyone have any arguments to save the rpm version?
Or shall I just retire it/update docs?

kanarip is currently the only one with approve ACLs on that package.
Note that you need to do updates in the spin-kickstarts repo and save 
a new archive file as part of updating the package. There is documentation 
on this at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Rebuilding_Spins_Packages .
