So, at todays fesco meeting there was some discussion about coprs. http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/meetbot/fedora-meeting/2013-12-04/fesco.2013-12-04-17.59.log.html#l-52 In particular some folks want to be able to ship copr repo files in the main Fedora repository. This would allow users to easily install software from there without having to discover how to enable it. However, copr packages are not signed or mirrored currently. So, this brings up thoughts around if we can somehow sign them, and how we could mirror them, or even if we want to go down this road at all. (as it seems like not a use case copr's was designed for anyhow). So: 1. Do we even want to persue this? 2. If so, do we have any ideas how signing copr packages could work? 3. Mirroring doesn't seem like it would be that hard, just rsync off the repos and push them out in our regular mirroring system. Could be a fair bit of churn tho, and there's no set schedule, so we would have to decide on frequency, etc. 4. If coprs moves to being inside koji, could we at that point have a better time with these needs? 5. Perhaps we could propose some kind if pergatory type setup between coprs (experemental, just builds, may set your house on fire, may update incompatibly every day) and fedora repository packages (with all the updates guidelines, reviews, etc). Thoughts? comments? Possibly related to this: I wonder if copr could grow a 'meta repo' that has all the repodata of all existing coprs. Then you could just enable one thing and be able to install any coprs? kevin
