Well, not sure how that would work.
You mean when you do a 'fedpkg build' it builds the normal epel arches
in the Fedora koji and also fires off a i686 build in the centos build
system?
If so:
* We would need to issue certs for every epel maintainer to be able to
build in centos.
* Also the centos build sys would need to allow builds from Fedora pkgs
source.
* Things could get out of sync if the centos build and epel builds one
or the other fails.
* How would maintainers push updates in the centos side? Or would that
just collect the builds and make a single repo/release ?
I was mainly proposing a thought experiment, and you're right, there are
a lot of bits involved that doesn't make it easy. There may simply be
too much inertia until we find the eventual reason to do the work.
Part of my thinking is the situation where CentOS SIGs need EPEL
packages and (aiui currently) have to import to
git.centos.org and build
the packages on
cbs.centos.org.
I'm basically back to being curious on the topic of EPEL & CentOS and
how best to interact.
