Well, it does say:
"The latter is important if any builds depend on previous ones in the
side tag.
Use koji wait-repo --build <package-nvr> <side-tag> to ensure that
the respective
build is available in the build root for subsequent builds. "
But if you can see a way to be more clear there, perhaps you could
put
in a PR?
I'll see what I can do, but the issue is more about understanding what
is happening in the background than just the wording. Now seeing it
fail it is obvious that each side-tag has its own repo, and this is
waiting for it to be created, but prior to sitting back and thinking
what has to go on the term "wait-repo" is just an extra step.
What seems to be really missing is some details of what is happening in
the background rather than a list of commands that are important.
As I said earlier, there seems to be very little documentation
anywhere, on what a side-tag actually is, or what it does. Naively, I
assumed just added an extra tag, and that is all.
