That way you can simply symlink > f25 to f24 and copy all the checks. I'm guessing this suggestion is in order to avoid having too many symlinks. It seems to me this may not be needed if we keep the existing logic for finding *.packages and *.repos files. Consider the following automation dir content: check_patch.sh check_patch.packages check_patch.sh.fc24 -> check_patch.sh check_patch.sh.fc25 -> check_patch.sh So same checks running on el7, fc25, fc25, with the same packages and with no much duplication and not too many symlinks. Am I missing something?
