TASK: Please provide up2date Fedora ELN container image

[praiskup]

What does the ELN SIG need to do?

• build container (Podman) images periodically to allow the use of Mock with "bootstrap image" for fedora-eln-* chroots

[praiskup]

Some docs about why we are using Bootstrap images by default:
https://rpm-software-management.github.io/mock/Feature-container-for-bootstrap
https://rpm-software-management.github.io/mock/Feature-bootstrap

Is there something special that a bootstrap image needs, or is quay.io/fedoraci/fedora:eln good enough? It's built automatically up to four times a day as part of our standard compose.

Nice! Do we have documentation for it or some project page at least? It would be nice to rely on something "official", so we can be calm that the reference will not stale.

It absolutely needs DNF, but it is there. Things would build be much faster if python3-dnf-plugins-core was present, too. Do you think it could be added?

Thanks, @sgallagher!

I submitted a separate ticket #166 for my previous question and closing!
