[Rdo-list] Software Factory for RDO experiment

Hi, After some discussions, we came up with the idea to have the RDO project owns its build infrastructure. To play with this idea, we propose to experiment to use an OpenStack like workflow to build RDO packages by deploying a Software Factory instance (http://softwarefactory-project.io) on top of an RDO or RHEL-OSP cloud. That will allow us to have our own Gerrit, Zuul, Nodepool and Jenkins instances like in the OpenStack upstream project while adding our package building specific needs like using the Delorean and Mock/Koji/Mash machineries. The objectives from these changes are: 1. to have a full gating CI for RDO to never break the package repository. 2. to be in control of our infrastructure. 3. to simplify the work-flow where we can to make it more efficient and easier to grasp. Nothing is set in stone so feel free to comment or ask questions. Cheers, -- Fred - May the Source be with you
