Basically koji has the concept of inheritance. When we create a new distribution tag, say dist-f8, we configure it to inherit from the previous distro's updates, ie dist-fc7-updates. dist-fc7-updates inherits from dist-fc7, which in theory inherits from dist-fc6-updates, and so on. If you did an update and it was pushed stable (and thus tagged for dist-fc7-updates), then getting a listing of what's "in" dist-f8 would show that build, provided that no builds of said package were tagged for dist-f8. This is how we "bootstrap" new collections and take advantage of already done QA work. Our compose tools will ask koji for all the 'latest' packages that can be seen via a given tag. Inheritance is followed. How "latest" is determined is: Look at the tag, are there any builds of <foo> that are specifically tagged for dist-f8, if so, use the one that most recently got the tag. If not, look at priority 1 inheritance and ask the same question, go until you find a build. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
