• Describe the issue

Since Dec 4 2019 (that's the oldest case I could find) builds in el6-candidate target are getting dist tag set to el6_10 instead of el6. This is causing fedpkg update to fail since it has no idea about this dist tag.

Hardcoding the value in Fedpkg is ugly and a workaround rather than a fix. If there was a place to query the information, fedpkg could get the information from there. The best place for that would be in Koji.

But if changes are being done to Koji configuration, it might be simpler to just override the value and restore old dist tag. As far as I can tell, it would be done by koji edit-tag dist-6E-epel-build -x rpm.macro.dist=el6.

• When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)

The sooner the better.

• When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD)

When packages for EPEL 6 are no longer built.

• If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?

People will not be able to submit updates with fedpkg update.
