Brew is a management layer over Mock, like Plague is. Brew was written with a package database backend in mind, and development on it started before Plague work began, but we didn't get to the point of actually using it until very recently. It is interesting now that there is work being considered to add a package database to Plague. Brew handles some things Red Hat needs for RHEL, much more strict tracking of build root contents for package builds, finer grained collection inheritince, collection locking (does plague do this?), an xml-rpc API to the package database, etc... Not all of these things are needed for Fedora, but some are pretty nice. There is some discussion about opensourcing Brew, the layers above mock. > Also, I've read that Red Hat can set a package owner _per dist release_ > instead of _one owner per package_ (which is what our "owners.list" can do > only). We can _now_. We weren't able to with beehive, the system brew replaces. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
