ALP: Build Service Git-Packaging Workflow

Meeting Wednesdays at 08:00 UTC in

Next Meeting May 3rd

Attendees

Is there a plan to convert Factory to it?
- Yes, when the scm-staging bot is completed (“phase 1”)
Is anything currently already using git-workflow?
- Not yet. SLE BCI uses a git based workflow but it is entirely different
What is the plan regarding storing tarballs in git? LFS? rpm extension?
- Fedora uses a sources file wiht checksums for all binary files which appears to be a simple workaround for missing LFS
  - It was invented before LFS existed? (I and dmach were around)
- OBS currently supports RemoteAsset for RPM and other build types:
  - http://opensuse.github.io/obs-build/pbuild.html#_remote_assets
- Document what the painpoints are with LFS ?
  - Adam will take a look
- rpm upstream checksum discussion https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/issues/463
