Is it expected Copr services could (backend/frontend, I am aware
dist-git
machine already does) be run on CentOS 7? I was seriously thinking about
it some time ago, I've done some downstream changes, but after some time
those are not useful .. the code is not ready .. and it is getting worse
(hard dependencies on dnf, etc.).
The benefits would be that we wouldn't have to do the updates (and thus
downtimes) so often due to fedora upgrades N -> N+1. I would be ready to
help, but there would have to be consensus that we are not against it.
In Fedora infra we do not do upgrade. We just change one variable, terminate the server
and rebuild it, because we have
the ansible playbooks describing the configuration. So we are doing upgrade once per
year.
IMO supporting the CentOS7 is not worth the work. We are trying to move Python3 - that
would mean on Centos7 that we
will have to use SCL. And get there some dependencies.
So I rather recommend to spend time on writing Ansible playbook and do not fear about
upgrades.
