# CentOS Linux Altarch Compose Process

This document describes the process of how to run a CentOS Linux altarch compose and sync it to stage.

Composes happen on **composer01.rdu2.centos.org** as the **compose** user.
They are created using the [pungi](https://pagure.io/pungi) tool with configurations located in */compose/pungi-centos-altarch/*.
They are stored under the */compose/trees/* directory.
Pushing a compose requires syncing it to the staging location */old-compose/staged/altarch/<version>/* with a staging script.
Later they are synced from staging to QA.

## Nightly

### Compose

```
sudo -u compose pungi-koji \
    --config /compose/pungi-centos-armhfp/c8-armhfp.conf \
    --old-composes /compose/trees \
    --target /compose/trees \
    --skip-phase productimg \
    --nightly
```

### Stage

```
sudo -u compose /compose/centos8-buildsys-tools-private/stage-altarch.sh
```
