Reopen Issue

Recently, there has been "Bootstrapping package with circular dependencies in koji" discussion in Fedora devel ML [1]. Given there is boostrap macro 1, it should be possible to run two builds, one with bootstrap macro enabled and other with boostrap macro disabled. So this is how it should work in practice:

$ koji edit-tag SIDETAG -x %_with_bootstrap=1
build
handle circular dep
$ koji edit-tag SIDETAG -r %_with_bootstrap
build

Unfortunately, this does not work, because regular user does not have permissions to modify the macro:

koji: ActionNotAllowed: tag permission required (logged in as USER)

Now the question is if there is a chance to exclude side tags from this policy? Or is there a chance Koji would supported enabling/disabling the bootstrap mode via some option?

You've to use edit-sidetag command instead which has --rpm-macro option. It allows you to edit some tag parameters as an owner instead of need of elevated privileges.

$ koji edit-sidetag --help
usage: koji edit-sidetag [options]
(Specify the --help global option for a list of other help options)
positional arguments:
  sidetag               name of sidetag
options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --debuginfo           Generate debuginfo repository
  --no-debuginfo
  --rpm-macro key=value
                        Set tag-specific rpm macros
  --remove-rpm-macro key
                        Remove rpm macros

Which koji version? It seems I don't have the 'edit-sidetag' option:
koji-1.31.1-1.fc37.noarch

$ koji edit-sidetag --help
...

I now have the command, but I still don't have permissions:

hmm, it is request for fedora relengs - parent tag must have "sidetag_rpm_macros_allowed: 1" to get this working. Can you file a request for change here? https://pagure.io/releng/issues (feel free to add me there as contact if they'll need some explanation)

Well, I was hoping we could restrict this more. "all macros" is very open and broad... "just a allowlist of macros" would be ideal... or a "bootstrap macro only" would work.

Make sense - #3673
