The current dumb rsync to and from our local cenbuild working copies and the repo server is very simple and easy to understand. Unfortunately the simplicity comes with some drawbacks: - You have to have the entire repo in every working copy, even if only parts of it is needed. - Removing anything is a complete nightmare as you have to clean out every working copy or the files will just get synced back. We can probably come up with something better.
The current plan is to teach rebuild about the repo. Instead of building new RPMs into the same place as old ones from the repo, we'll instead split things into two directories: - repo files (i.e. old and already live things) - staging (i.e. the new ones you are currently building an noone has seen yet) We can also avoid downloading the entire repo by just having a cache directory and download files on demand. So the data flow will now be: <spec> => [build] => staging => [rsync] => repo => [download] => cache Files will be removed from staging as they are pushed to the repo. This ensures that a file removed from the repo will not be brought back from the dead by someones stray working copy.
Implemented in r30411. Tester should verify: - That packages are downloaded to the cache and installed when needed - That packages are installed from the staging directory - That uploading from the staging directory works - That --no-repo avoids any contact with the repo

Fixed in r30479.

Works as intended.
