Random feedback from Telegram: Copr vs. AUR
by Adam Samalik 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

Hey guys! Just in case you run out of ideas about making Copr even better, I just saw this feedback on the Fedora Telegram channel comparing Fedora Copr and Arch Linux AUR: "... Justing W. Flory: Fedora has a similar concept with Copr, but it's not as widely used as AURs. lian.rs: Copr is not quite that. Copr is more like Ubuntu PPAs, and lacks many features such as voting, forum for each package, being able to review the package before installing, etc, and most importantly Copr is a repo tool, not a packaging tool. You need to know in advance the repo that contains the software you want to install. It's not as convenient :(" As a former Arch Linux user I kind of agree. Having some voting mechanism and maybe even the forum/discussions would be fantastic! What do you guys think? I don't have that much time for Copr as I used to, but, as always, I'm happy to help with UI! ;-) Cheers! Adam -- Adam Šamalík --------------------------- Software Engineer Red Hat

New COPR release
by Michal Novotny 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

Hey folks, updated COPR stack has been just deployed into production. This included several steps: 1) new release of copr-frontend (1.107-1) has been deployed The main features of this release include re-enabling fedora-rawhide as chroot names, compatibility with python2-flask-whooshee-0.4.1-2, and finally updates related to support of Module Build Service (MBS). 2) copr-backend was redeployed for mock 1.3.4 support The backend configuration was updated to support the new mock 1.3.4. Note that fedora-26-* chroots will not work until the respective repositories are publicly available. Before, rawhide repositories were used for f26 chroots but today, that needed to be changed for the rawhide branching. Mainly because of this unpleasant config switching, we decided that returning fedora-rawhide -* back is the best option. It will be kept as long as mock keeps it. We run on mock and we need to play with it well. Note that previous backend rawhide repositories are available in your backend directories "-backup" suffixed. Otherwise, we are starting from scratch there and new repositories will be auto-created for the new rawhide builds. We are also starting fresh on copr-dist-git where the previous master branch has been renamed to master-backup and new master is ready for you. 3) a long-standing copr-keygen issue "Keygen service error" has been hopefully fixed This issue should no longer occur (at least not for the same reason). Let me know if it runs well. There are still unsolved network problems, which cause COPR to underperform these days while also requiring day-to-day copr-backend service stop/starts. We are now going to debug these into depth. The ultimate goal now is to make COPR stable and reliable. Thank you COPR team

Hello, as soon as branching is done and f26 repo links become available, we will switch the current fedora-26-* chroots from rawhide to use the f26 repositories. COPR team

Hi I have identified some missing dependencies for building COPR for CentOS/RHEL... Frontend: python-flask-whooshee: Is build in the Copr project, but needs to have added EPEL as a build target, can you do that?? python-requests: I have requested a build: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1420248 python-flask-script: I have requested a build: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1420252 Backend: sphinx: Is this package needed?? I don't think it was there in v. 1.94... I have requested a build: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1420257 I have also created a tracker bug, but I'm unsure how to use it?? is there a way to link these build requests to the bug???: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1420243 I'm also pulling in my collegue, Helgi Waag, to help me on this project... Regards /Martin
