--- Comment #20 from Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
I don't think that mkrootfs.sh is going to work.

A) There is no networking in the koji runtime instances, so it can't download
anything, even from koji.
B) Including that binary image into the SRPM is ... troublesome. I'm not
confident that distributing the binary RPM along with the SRPM guarantees that
we remain in compliance with all of the licenses in that binary docker image.

Is there no way we can distribute this tool without a binary distribution
image? If the answer is "the tool doesn't do anything without one", the options
are:

1) Add a README.fedora that points to the latest Fedora image and let the user
figure it out AND/OR Include a script to download the latest Fedora image (but
don't run it in a %post scriptlet please).
2) Somehow get the latest Fedora image into an RPM where the corresponding SRPM
has the BuildRequires to properly build it from the RPMs in the Fedora tree,
then Requires on that image RPM here. (This sounds convoluted, and it is, but
it ensures that we are in license compliance).
3) Figure out a way to document and track the source revisions of EVERY
component inside the binary Fedora image, then work with rel-eng to ensure that
as long as we distribute the binary Fedora image inside of this package, the
other SRPMs remain available (and accurate). This is going to be painful, so I
strongly advise against it.

I'm open to other suggestions, but this is all that comes to mind at the
moment.
