TASK: building ELN with dnf5?

[praiskup]

What does the ELN SIG need to do?

• decide when to make this change and coordinate the switch

We should follow similar steps as with Fedora Rawhide:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/BuildWithDNF5

Mock/Copr change:
rpm-software-management/mock#1291

Gently ping, what is the plan here?

[sgallagher]

Sorry for the failure to reply. This is on the plan for "things we'll get to after we fork CentOS Stream 10", which is happening next week.

[praiskup]

Gently ping again. Any plans?

[sgallagher]

Thanks for the ping. I'm taking a look at rpm-software-management/mock#1292 right now.

Wouldn't the ELN container image (used in bootstrapping) need to have dnf5 first?

[sgallagher]

That would make it much faster, but it's not a strict requirement. Regardless, I'm already looking at updating the bootstrap image as well.

[sgallagher]

I have patches out for review for Content Resolver and fedora-kickstarts. Once those land, we can update the mock PR to not disable the bootstrap_ready option.

Also, I've done some local testing with dnf5 as the package manager in mock for ELN and it worked just fine.

[sgallagher]

The two MRs above have been merged. Once the next compose runs in a couple hours, we should be able to use the new container image as a bootstrap image for mock.

[praiskup]

Is it the right time to make the change in Mock?

[yselkowitz]

Any bugs building packages with dnf5 should already be fixed, so I have no further objections to using dnf5 in mock and in koji for ELN. @sgallagher does anything else need to be done first?

[sgallagher]

Let's do it.

[yselkowitz]

The mock PR was merged and the koji tag modified; anything else?

[praiskup]

No, this seems done, thank you all! (I mean, we still have to wrap a new mock-core-configs release, and deploy that into Fedora Copr, but that's going to happen very soon)
