Someone (I think it was you kyle?) mentioned that we could just keep the spec files in a repo and have an action that just builds the RPMs on the spot. That sounds way cleaner to me than having to manage a COPR or do OBS or whatever. Am I missing a downside?

Kyle Gospo•7/22/23, 12:12 AM

spec files in-repo is definitely me

Kyle Gospo•7/22/23, 12:12 AM

but I'm a huge proponent of copr due to it making a proper repo

Kyle Gospo•7/22/23, 12:12 AM

so failed builds aren't an issue

Kyle Gospo•7/22/23, 12:12 AM

there's a happy middle ground there to be sure

Kyle Gospo•7/22/23, 12:13 AM

since you can make webhooks in github to trigger rebuilds in copr, that's how all of mine work

Kyle Gospo•7/22/23, 12:13 AM

I don't even merge stuff half the time because the pull bot does it for me

j0rgeOP•7/22/23, 12:13 AM

when you say "failed builds aren't an issue" what do you mean by that?

Jj0rge when you say "failed builds aren't an issue" what do you mean by that?

Kyle Gospo•7/22/23, 12:15 AM

if a build fails the previous successful result will be what you/others download

Kyle Gospo•7/22/23, 12:16 AM

github releases of course are the same way, but I find it's a little harder to make use of those in a containerfile

Kyle Gospo•7/22/23, 12:16 AM

and being on copr means the wider fedora community gets to play with it too

j0rgeOP•7/22/23, 12:17 AM

yeah so my line of thinking was - if it doesn't have to be a proper repo since it's used specifically for image building, you could attach the rpms to github releases and then just consume them from the containerfile. Though I guess you'd have to figure out versioning and stuff instead of just having a repo file ...

Kyle Gospo•7/22/23, 12:18 AM

could do what copr (optionally) does and use the latest git commit id as the version

Kyle Gospo•7/22/23, 12:18 AM

unless what you're building is stable enough to bother with proper version numbers

if you want to do the same for this I can merge it up now

done

sweet!

I'm keen to see how these 4c builders work out, bazzite builds should be way faster

j0rgeOP•7/22/23, 12:21 AM

when you hit $50 worth of build time we'll call it.

Kyle Gospo•7/22/23, 12:21 AM

eep, pressure

Kyle Gospo•7/22/23, 12:21 AM

better make that build time worth it then

j0rgeOP•7/22/23, 12:21 AM

just dev normally

Kyle Gospo•7/22/23, 12:21 AM

I'll kick off one momentarily to pull in these kmods

Kyle Gospo•7/22/23, 12:22 AM

see how fast it goes

j0rgeOP•7/22/23, 12:22 AM

I'm napkin-mathing out the combo of 2c and 4c builders that would work best.

j0rgeOP•7/22/23, 12:30 AM

what I like about buildjet is it's on demand, we can just keep using free builders, but when we want to do major work we can add these so we can move faster. "It's friday night, bust out buildjet!" And there's no commitment or instances or anything, we only pay for what we use.

bsherman•7/22/23, 2:11 AM

for the record... i also suggested spec files in repos and possible options for repos here
https://github.com/ublue-os/akmods/issues/28

i'm pretty content with how things have shaken out so far... lets get some specs in repo where we need them (eg, as I find time to work on xpad-noone and openrazer) and the ublue-os COPR perms turned out to be pretty simple looking, so not too big of a headache, at least, not yet

j0rgeOP•7/22/23, 2:21 AM

understood

well, ya'll are the rpm people so if you're happy I'm happy
