#461 RFE: Run Zuul scratch builds from SCM (not from SRPM)
Opened by churchyard. Modified

Hello. Recently, the Fedora CI - Scratch build job started to build directly from dist git (SCM).

Could all the scratch builds in Zuul (normal, eln, other architectures) use this as well? I think it's less likely to fail for weird reasons and it requires less maintenance (no need for mock, no need for rpmbuild, just a Koji client).

See https://pagure.io/fedora-ci/general/issue/456#comment-894992 and further.

Zuul's "Depends-On" feature might be affected by switching to Koji scratch-builds. My understanding is that people can express dependencies between PRs and thus build+test changes across multiple components. With Koji scratch-builds, there is no way how to handle build-dependencies between changes.

Koji draft builds will solve this problem, but it's hard to tell when will be the feature GA'ed for everybody to use.

Zuul in Fedora already uses Koji scratch-builds. This request is to change from SRPM upload to SCM URL.

(Zuul in c9s/c8s uses mockbuilds.)

I had no idea, thanks ;)
