Description Mikolaj Izdebski 2016-05-16 09:20:19 UTC

Currently Copr allows user to choose one of predefined chroots, which are combinations of distro, version and arch. They use predefined repos, which can't be disabled.

It would be nice to have ability to choose a custom chroot, which wouldn't define any repos and let user to add all repos manually (by editing chroot repos, which is already implemented in Copr). Likewise, initial buildroot packages would need to be specified manually too.

Moreover, repo of given copr seems to always be used during builds for that copr. It would be good if custom repos wouldn't have it enabled by default - user would have to explicitly add it.

Basically the above means another set of chroots (custom-x86_64, custom-ppc64le, ...) with no default repos, not even repo of current copr. All repos need to be defined explicitly by user.

Koschei needs this feature for two reasons: 1) using Koji repos instead of mirrored rawhide content and 2) "untagged builds" (builds which are not included buildroot). What I proposed seems like a simplest solution that would satisfy Koschei needs, but looking at several other RFEs maybe a more sophisticated repo customization could be implemented?

This is currently blocked by fedpkg. When I create branch custom1 in dist-git. And then run
  fedpkg --dist custom1 srpm
I get verious errors related to the fact that fedpkg cannot guess distag for that branch. That is because of hardcoded list of possible branches.

I created PR for fedpkg which should address it.
