Hello folks,
during our Nest FESCo session, we've talked about enabling Koschei [1] for all
packages automatically.
There seem to be a consensus by FESCo members, that it would be a good thing.
What would it take?
1) Koji resources
I think we can try to enable this and see if it burns. I think ti won't.
It will, but we will deal with it. Koschei builds have had to be throttled down multiple times in the past due to the fact that all those builds working or failed take up some disk space on builders for a bit. Get a lot of churn and koschei builds and you end up with builders without disk space and various developers who are saying yes! in the past yelling about not being able to do their real work :). We will just have to figure out how to throttle things down safely to make it work. The current koji+all-other-stuff is a batch operating system (line up the tasks and do them until they are done) which we treat like a time-share which only holds when things are 'low' usage.
Long term I think we are going to need to figure out ways to get the fedora buildsystem safely and securely into various clouds to allow for many more builders and resources. [This isn't just koji, but the assumptions that all the other tools in the fedora system from the 'dashboard' to the koji+bodhi+osbs+odcs+pungi+etc+etc build system that all the resources are close and local in a 'sealed' firewalled off space. ]
