Please see centos-stream-hyperscale-*.cfg configs here

We tried workarounding the original request and take centos-stream-8-x86_64 as a base and configuring the additional repositories but the build is not what we would want (wrong disttag).

I think it is because of the custom

config_opts['macros']['%dist'] = ".hs.el8"
config_opts['macros']['%centos_hs'] = "1"

But there are also things like

config_opts['chroot_setup_cmd'] += " centos-release-hyperscale"

I think this issue can be partially fixed by implementing #1466 but maybe some additional work will be required.

Or we can allow users to customize their chroots by providing their own mock configs.

Or we can simply add the CentOS Stream Hyperscale configs.

I don't know what is the best option for us, so I created this RFE instead of fixing it straight away.

Adding a chroot for each third-party module doesn't really scale :-/

Agreed, I wanted to avoid this as much as possible.

Ok, let's allow our users to do this manually in #1336.
