These images could be regularly produced by Fedora infrastructure and made available on the mirror network for all targets we support as a project. They'd be useful for COPR too, as then it can permanently switch to bootstrap mode. Alternatively, Mock could be taught how to manually unpack enough packages with libarchive to get rpm + dnf working, and use that to bootstrap into a real rootfs to do stuff. This strategy is what obs-build does (though it only needs rpm since dependency solving is built into obs-build). -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-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/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
