+From 432b0bce0401c4bbcd1a958a89305c475a794f26 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Adam Williamson <awilliam@redhat.com>
+Date: Jan 19 2024 07:25:09 +0000
+Subject: checks: don't require "repo" in the "ostree" schema
+
+
+Per @siosm in https://pagure.io/pungi-fedora/pull-request/1227
+this option "is deprecated and not needed anymore", so Pungi
+should not be requiring it.
