I can not help with the Koji, but on the topic of Jenkins setup, I'd like to mention that Fedora CI maintains two Jenkins instances, and hosts various pipelines on them, including Rawhide Gating and ELN. And we(as Fedora CI SIG) welcome community members to setup more pipelines on those Jenkins instances if they help develop Fedora. Every pipeline we run is a separate GitHub repository under the Fedora CI org: https://github.com/fedora-ci Which allows us to have a shared ownership, code-review and test process and so on. Thus you don't have to setup and maintain your own Jenkins system for your project. > How and where to implement this, e.g. can we use the staging koji server > or something else? > > Can we build something that is generic enough, so that other people who > want to make similar proposals would be able to easily set up their own > alternative buildroot? This is one of the declared goals of the ELN project - to not just build the RHEL-like environment, but also to develop some tooling which would allow anyone to build their own alternative buildroot. So I would be interested in discussing this further. At Devconf.cz 2021 there will be the ELN Meetup https://devconfcz2021.sched.com/event/gmYF/fedora-eln-meetup where we are going to brainstorm our next steps. And building the "alternative buildroot toolbox" could be one of them. > > Thanks, > Tom > _______________________________________________ > infrastructure mailing list -- infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to infrastructure-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Aleksandra Fedorova bookwar _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list -- infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to infrastructure-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
