Hello, I would like to test Fedora Copr capabilities in serving us as the main build system instead our Koji instance. With assistance from Mirek Suchy, lead Copr developer, I would like to do proof-of-concept of integrating Copr into our workflow as a secondary build system together with Koji. The idea is to run both in paralel for some time to excercise integration and stability, then doing one release from Copr while keeping Koji up and running. After one successful release, we will be able to deprovision the Koji instance and all its builders.
Since Tito supports Copr, integration should be relatively easy. There are some limitations we need to workaround. Comp files are being uploaded via Copr user interface, there is no API/CLI yet but the question is if we want to use comps at all. Might be better idea to filter out packages during downloading it from Copr to our file server. Second known limitation is that Copr uses its own embedded signing procedure (everything is signed by default) while we will want to sign releases by ourselves. Since we do this manually today, we can simply sign packages again before uploading them to the target server. The plan: Delete existing testing Copr repositories in @theforeman Copr group, it's not shown in the UI who created them but I believe it was Dominic or Eric: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/groups/g/theforeman/coprs/ Create new project structure and set necessary build roots and SCL dependencies. Rebuild all nightly packages so they are all built in Copr successfully for the first time via tito. This will be a PR in foreman-packaging with all necessary configuration changes. We will create Etherpad page to track the progress. Merge the tito configuration change and update Jenkins job to build nightly on both Koji and Copr in parallel. This is the first stage, the second one will be doing a proper release from Copr rather than Koji. Ideally, this would be 1.16 bit if we don't hit this one, we can take our time. If you want to help, please let me know. The first step is to set things up. Please keep Mirek in CC, if you have comments, questions or concerns.
