Detailed Description
Changing how pungi works to make composes, we aim to achieve a few goals.
- Always do a complete compose, including rawhide and branched. Essentially we will have TC composes daily.
- Make sure that the tools used to make Fedora translate directly to making RHEL
- Enable more people to be involved in the development of compose tools
- Farm off compose tasks to hosts in koji
Benefit to Fedora
- Faster composes
- More frequent composes
- Nightly composes will look the same as a release compose
- More transparent and publicly visible logs.
- More people able to work on the tools used to make Fedora
Scope
- Proposal owners: Extend the functionality of pungi and koji
- Other developers: NA
- Release engineering: This will be a major change in how releng does composes
- List of deliverables: N/A
- Policies and guidelines: releng docs on how to do composes will need updating
- Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
Upgrade/compatibility impact

Contingency Plan

- Contingency deadline: Alpha Change freeze
- Blocks release? Yes
- Blocks product? All
