#160 Evaluate alternatives for automatically rebuilding packages
Opened by salimma. Modified

We currently get automatically filed issues in https://pagure.io/centos-sig-hyperscale/package-updates/issues when a CentOS Stream package has a higher NEVRA than one of our packages. Ideally we can do more:

  • Certain packages might be tracking Fedora as an upstream, rather than cXs (i.e. if we need newer versions rather than just rebuilding with different options enabled). e.g. linux-firmware, tzdata
  • Certain packages might need to track upstream directly (maybe tzdata?)

We currently have some specialized automation for systemd - and we used to have one for the kernel (which @ngompa pointed out is special because it's source git) - but nothing general.

Might be good to try and see if PackIt fits our use case here, but we should be open to other alternatives as well.
