When I started working on rpm back in 2007, landing new features to rpm meant
looking 5+ years in the horizon to have
said feature running on a released RHEL running in the builder so people could
start trying it out on rawhide, which
meant that by then it was far, far too late to address any of the inevitable
design flaws you get when doing something
...
For me this is a career-long dream come true. THANK YOU for everybody in the
involved in making it happen, one step at a
time, over the years!
Nice to hear :)
But it is important to know that as long as bootstrap is big step, there is
still hidden caveat: When any RPM or DNF
package or any package they requires use some nice fancy feature which host's rpm
does not recognize, then the bootstrap > will fail anyway. This is solved by
bootstrap image feature
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/wiki/Feature-container-for-bootstrap
which is still fresh feature - just one year old :) And so far not enabled in
Koji.
When *this* will be enabled in Koji, we can finally boost the RPM development
to levels previously unimaginable. :)
Ooh, nice! I thought there was that caveat but wasn't aware of this work.
We came up with the basic idea about reusing existing pre-built images
for the purpose on internal #rpm in early 2013 but I don't know if it
ever got to mock developers ears back then. At any rate it's just
awesome to see this all coming together now after all that time, what a
nice x-mas present :)
