Sure, John. I would appreciate patches. Thanks. Though I'd like
to see most
of this type of work end up upstream in koji-gc or kojira ;)
I wish I knew Python...
I know Python very well, I wish I knew my way around koji. :-)
It's been quite a battle trying to follow the various wikis, blogs and
etc. on getting a setup going and there seems to be even less written on
how to actually use it in practice. Part of my difficulty probably stems
from having built my own tool chain and using that for so long; I'm biased
on approach. I'm trying to convert now to mainstream practices because I
want a more automated setup where git commits to my numerous projects
yields rpms which yield repos which yield custom Fedora Live images which
yield VM builds and automated testing all along the way in a huge
continuous integration loop.
