Hi all,
RDO Trunk repos are meant to package the latest upstream commits, but in some rare cases
we may need to pin a specific package to a non-latest commit to temporarily fix a
breakage.
This week, we had one of those cases with keystonemiddleware, but the procedure used to do
it caused some disruption because some commits were rebuilt, breaking the
current-passed-ci and current-tripleo repos for centos-master.
Looking for alternatives, my first idea was the following:
- Temporarily take that package out of rdoinfo using a specific tag (e.g. tag: to-fix)
- And add a working package to an "overrides" repo, included as part of
delorean-deps.repo
This avoids any DLRN db hacks, but stops processing updates for the package until the
breakage is fixed.
What do you think? Any alternative ideas?
Thanks,
Javier
