AFAIK Koji does not use it. You can join Fedora infra to change it :) > Uhm, let us not set up unreal expectations on what Fedora Infrastructure can do. 1. Koji needs to be able to support it and Fedora Infrastructure doesn't/maintain work on that code. 2. Fedora Infrastructure would need either newer hardware or cut down the number of builders to allow for more memory per system to do the builds in ramdisk. 3. There are a long list of 'higher' priority items which the koji developers have on their list to do all the time. This needs to be weighed against the other needs of trying to make builds reproducible, trying to make koji work better in a cloud evironment, etc. 4. If all of that would make it look like Fedora Infrastructure should move to a different build system... then it isn't going to happen soon. -- Stephen J Smoogen. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Flame wars in sci.astro.orion. I have seen SPAM filters overload because of Godwin's Law. All those moments will be lost in time... like posts on a BBS... time to shutdown -h now. _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
