rojig: leverage existing RPM/yum mirroring infrastructure

[jamescassell]

There are tons of tools and products that support mirroring, managing, and syncing yum repositories. Whether it's a local mirror for faster access, or a completely offline network, it's very useful to be able to download and automatically sync updates thru pre-existing processes.

rpm-ostree rojig seems to allow this.

What would it take to have the pipeline (and/or koji) generate RPMs that represent each release?

I did some work on this for coreos-assembler here: coreos/coreos-assembler#1003
as part of potentially using it for Silverblue.

The basic thing here is: As soon as package layering is involved, rojig becomes much more compelling.

But once container image deltas land, container images become a much saner way to ship the OS and obviously align with how we ship apps.
