Well, my thought was this would be a good way to clean out old stale
projects. ie:
right now we have f26 (rawhide), f25, f24
once we branch f26, projects have f26, f25, f24 and if they like they
can enable and rebuild for the now existing f27 (rawhide).
When f24 goes eol and is disabled, look at projects that don't have any
builds anymore and remove them.
repeat each cycle. This means you need to pay attention and rebuild
your coprs for new branches as they appear, but it also means if you
don't the old project disappears.
That's true but maybe if we make sure the time of the latest build is communicated
clearly to the user of the copr, it will be enough.
clearly to the user of the copr, it will be enough.
Of course many projects also build for epel, so they would stick around
for that reason for a long time.
If we move back to having a rawhide/devel/master repo the problem
becomes "which rawhide" ? if you build something in that branch a year
ago, what are the chances it will still work?
Yeah, not very high chances. However, rawhide is still moving so people probably
do expect the packages there not to have very wide 'it-works' lifespan.

If I consider a use-case of a package developer/maintainer that wants to prepare
his or her package for next Fedora release, then I think that for those COPR users
(I met one), rawhide naming is more intuitive and I would like to be good to them.

Just my thoughts...
Thank you, Kevin.
