[Jordan Petridіs]

what's the point on essentially renaming the .build template to .build fedora x86_64 and then just adding an job with the same name that adds just an image tag.

The reason that the .build template was factored out that way, was to make it easier to define builds of different distributions in the future.

The only change that would actually remove duplication would be to put the dependencies block in the .build template.

[Xavier Claessens]

It is true that the fedora job is pretty empty, but there was more duplication in the android job.

[Xavier Claessens]

And you're right we can move dependencies: to .build to reduce even more duplication.
