Copr is a community hub where people can upload packages
Copr is a community hub where people can upload packages
Ai nver used fedora in my life so I will let someone else explain
Nit takes your source code and with specific config files, builds it and then you have an rpm anyone can download
NCopr = Community Projects
Njust found out on github lol
©Ahh so like AUR, but for Ublue?
Aits like aur but worse
Nyep
Nwell not only for ublue, for every fedora distro
©ic cool
Aworse is subjective, but i hate that it does not have a global namespace
Abut its good redhat or someone fronts the money to compile all the packages
Awith aur you have to compile them after downloading on your pc
NSame with GitHub Actions
©Isn't that more efficient? i mean every user compiles with an automated script...
©The only exception where it would benefit are kernel modules who need to be signed with a certain key
Ayeah say you want to use a mainline kernel in arch, every update you spend 45 min compiling it
Awhereas copr builds the package
©so what....my pc is idling into old age anyhow most of the time 
Athe mainline kernel updates every day
Aforget about it
Awhereas in copr daddy red hat pays the bills
Nalso makes sense to have reproducible builds to build it on red hats
Nwhere the environment will probably stay the same
©yea there are plenty of pro/cons i bet
Aalso you can be sure the package built the binary which is not true with github actions. Essentially its the same security as AUR but no compilation
A0 downside for us, only for fedora that pays the bills
NThere is always a benefit to both sides, even the side who is paying the bills
Asure copr compiling the kernel might take 3 hours and for your device 45 min
Notherwise they wouldn't be hosting it
©My personal opinion is that it's always better to compile on own machine....
But ahh well...i get it now
But ahh well...i get it now
NSame with Github and Free Runners on Public Repos
Athey're dogfooding the distro it makes sense
Aok then download the 500mb rust compiler to install asusctl because luke thought python is too slow
Alike you would in arch
©Evry "free" service has a hidden cost for the end-user, don't forget that. No idea what the cost for us is in this case yet
A
Athey want us to use fedora
NFedora is the testing ground for Red Hat 
©I'm open for all Linux versions as long as the end control stays in OUR hands and not any comercial company...Thats all i say for this topic...
©I used to love RedHat until they went comercial years ago...
©I even contributed to make RPM better in those days...
Hnothing stops you from downloading the build files from copr and manually compiling the packages
©I know i know...was just asking if they had an automated system like AUR, but seems not
Athey have the same system and a compilation system on top
Aso you host both the build files and binaries
©Oh so i can download a single file and execute it to make it download all dependencies and compile in one go?
Ayes, or download the binary that you know was built from those files for free
©Hmmm interesting, ok might try it in near future then 
AWhat product should go for lenovo legion go or steamdeck oled or rog ally?
SI’d say the Steam Deck OLED. My main reasoning is cost-to-performance, longer battery life, and I basically live or die by these trackpads
