Two issues I see deal with failed builds and new dependencies.
1 - failed builds.
Will there be an easy way for the ELN SIG (or whoever) to see what the failed
builds are? Or are all of these builds fire and forget?
Previously, failed build resulted in outdated ELN content and outdated ELN
builroot and hence more failed (or "wrong") builds.
When nobody has time to deal with the failures, we eventually end up with a
very old rawhide snapshot where nothing builds. Once the human operator gets to
it, they need to manually rebbootstrap everything or essentially use the
current rawhide to populate ELN with "fresh" content once again.
With this proposal, failed builds result in more rawhide content in ELN
buildroot which does not degrade over time. Worst case scenario where no ELN
builds are possible for a long time, we'll end up with... 100 % rawhide
content. Once the failure is fixed, the content starts to be more and more %
ELN gradually over time.
2 - new dependencies.
Package foo (in ELN list) get's a new dependency bar (not in ELN list). bar
will already be built when foo gets updated and built in rawhide and ELN. bar
will eventually get put on the ELN list. But with your proposal, bar has the
potential to not be built in ELN for 6 months.
I don't understand how is this different than the status quo. Current ELN koji
buildroot already "sees" all Rawhide packages that aren't in ELN.
It would be nice if there was still something like ELN periodic that checked
what packages haven't been built and attempts to rebuild them. I know we've
had a problem in the past with it spamming due to retrying failed builds
multiple times. But it is there for a reason.
That is still necessary with this proposal (although it does not need to be
that aggressive).
