Yes, it would involve building the fedora docker base image from scratch. Now, the process which currently generates that image (hopefully by running some sort of tool or script to generate the image from pre-built Fedora RPMS) could also generate an RPM with: * a list of the Name-Version-Release data of the binary Fedora RPMS, and their corresponding SRPMS, and instructions on where to find these items in Koji. * a copy of the Fedora docker base image The idea being that anyone who gets that Fedora docker base image via RPM will also get a list of the source and binary Fedora RPMS used to compose it, and can go get them from Koji or the repositories in order to comply with the source licenses. (There is a minimal risk of us garbage collecting these builds depending on when this is done...) If we were trying to be very clever, we'd wrap all of the image creation logic inside a SRPM with the proper BuildRequires, so that someone could simply rpmbuild --rebuild that SRPM to generate a custom (updated/tweaked) Fedora docker base image in an RPM. However, this aspect of it is not a legal requirement, just a nice-to-have. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
