If I were to start from scratch on this, I would look at the simplest
solution I would want from Boltron. I want to make it so a package team can
make a set of packages in a repository and work out how I can interact with
other repositories. I also want to easily build that package set in ways to
work on different versions of an operating system.

The question is whether this team wants to do the "heavy lifting"
(which might or might not actually be very heavy), of integrating with
the rest of the distro. If they don't, then Copr is the answer: it
provides all the answers, including automatic rebuilds.


The problem is that COPRs do not have any way of communicating with
each other. If I grab from copr-A and it has libfoo-2.3.1-1 and I grab
from copr-B and it has libfoo-2.3.2-2 then I am going to replace
copr-A's packages which may break what I wanted from there. I am
saying that if we look at a way that they can clearly communicate
these problems to the user then we have fixed that.


FWIW, there is this old bug asking to express at least some kind of dependency between COPRs:
