#1985 [RFE] dist-repo inherited tags should be able to specify 'subrepo' name
Opened 4 years ago by jcpunk. Modified 4 years ago

Currently for dist-repo, there is the ability to split debuginfo packages out into a separate repo. It would be helpful if it was possible to specify (via tag-extras?) that an inherited tag should be split into its own separate repo as well.


Does it make sense? Inherited tag could have completely different content based on different filters applied on that level. It is more correct to run separate distrepo task for that. Or don't I understand it correctly?

My middle term hope was to try and simplify the generation process of sub repos (like AppStream CentOS).

In practice PowerTools is a bit of a mess because not all packages from a single source go to a single repo. But AppStream could work for this.

My current Tag Layout is:
- MyDistribution
---- MyDist-APPROVED
---- MyDist-TESTING

I'd love to be able to do a dist-repo of 'MyDistribution' and have it able to put the "testing" packages in one set of repodata and the "approved" packages into another. If a package happens to be in both, then put it into both.

These repos are inter-related and I'd prefer to have them composed along those lines.

Am I making sense here?
