There is just a problem: it doesn't really work well currently.
If you for example try to enable the mainline copr it will fail; if you do that on Fedora workstation, you will get the latest package from the mainline-wo-merge copr, as intended. With stable-rc it works, but you get an outdated kernel.
@siosm, if you have a minute, do you maybe have an idea how to work around the problem the toot above briefly mentions?
The problem happens because "rpm-ostree overlay replace --experimental --from repo=…" afaics does not handle copr runtime dependencies. Those are needed to properly support the kernel vanilla repositories, as the right packages for users of some of the coprs are sometimes found in coprs that are a runtime dependency.
I used that as base for some tests and the instruction linked in the initial toot, just omitted the "--freeze".
And for mainline-wo-mergew this will work correctly for round about 9 our of 10 weeks (e.g. when a new mainline release is out before the first stable release comes out, which then should be installed from the stable-rc and stable repos.
