• Describe the issue

This is supposed to work: koji edit-sidetag <my-sidetag> --rpm-macro _with_bootstrap=1
... but it currently doesn't seem to have an effect.

I wait-repo'd the corresponding side-tags at least twice since setting the macro, and it still doesn't do anything.

The koji UI shows the rpm_macro being set correctly:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taginfo?tagID=118629

This affects these six side-tags and is currently blocking work:

• f44-build-side-118629
• f43-build-side-118633
• f42-build-side-118635
• f41-build-side-118637
• epel10.2-build-side-118639

• epel9-build-side-118641

• When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)

Soon-ish (before the side-tags expire, so ... within the next ~2 weeks?), which would be 2025/09/26.

• When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD)

When I give up and push manual bootstrapping commits instead of trying to use this koji functionality. YYYY/MM/DD depending on my patience :)

• If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?

The standard, documented procedure for doing bootstrap builds in side-tags doesn't work.
