Thanks, that was a nice explanation. I personally believe there is a good solution in extending koji and rpm. koji to be able to rebuild the same source package again and again while passing a different increasing number to rpmbuild through --define and rpm to put that number into rpm name if it was specified to the following position: python3-colcon-ros-bundle-0.0.14-1.fc31.<buildid>.noarch.rpm It can be just a short build id specific for the given package (i.e. how many builds there were for the given package). There might be a little bit of trouble to keep <buildid> meaningfully increasing in case of multiple parallel builds but I think it should be possible. An advantage over the rpmautospec approach is that this will just work for all the packages out of the box, i.e. no matter what macros they are using. > > > Cheers, > > Dan _______________________________________________ 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
