Stephen Gallagher: Sausage Factory: Fedora ELN Rebuild Strategy
The Fedora ELN SIG maintains a tool called ELNBuildSync1 (or EBS) which is responsible for monitoring traffic on the Fedora Messaging Bus and listening for Koji tagging events. When a package is tagged into Rawhide (meaning it has passed Fedora QA Gating and is headed to the official repositories), EBS checks whether it’s on the list of packages targeted for Fedora ELN or ELN Extras and enqueues it for the next batch of builds.
