The KMail app stopped working for me today, and I realized
there's
update to which I'd like to give a try:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-15d324f87c
In Bodhi, the suggested command to test this update is:
sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing
--advisory=FEDORA-2020-15d324f87c
But that doesn't work because the mirrored updates-testing is not
yet updated. And downloading all the builds manually from Koji
is just too much work ATM.
Would it be possible to enhance Bodhi so it provides the repositories
somewhere in the meantime, before composes are ready?
This is not the first time I'd found this feature very convenient.
A couple of things. Bodhi doesn't make composes and doesn't directly
provide anything, so it would need to be some other tool which built and
provided the mini-compose. This tool would need extra hardware and disk
space as we aren't budgeted for this and will not see more disk space to
our current infrastructure til probably 2022.
Second, the Bodhi team was a temporary group to get a bodhi feature set
over the line at a certain point in time. Those people are now assigned to
other projects to get container builds, flatpaks, replacing our 12 year old
account system, and other items into place. When those items are completed
those people will be assigned to fixing whatever other new tool is needed
to get things done.
If people want this, there is going to need to be a project request with a
detailed explanation, project scope, budget idea, what it will fix and
various ways to weigh it against other projects, etc. I am guessing this
would need to go to the council to work out if it is a higher need than
some other items they expect CPE to work on.
