Week 14 (March 30th - April 3rd) #

packit #

• Fix web URLs for Copr builds owned by groups (#778).
• Create downstream spec if it’s not there (propose-update) - this used to happen when using packit on a newly created package in Fedora which did not have spec fille added yet. (#779)
• Packit no longer inspects archive extension set in Source and creates .tar.gz by default - this should be more flexible and prevent issues for “non-standard” archive names. (#781)

packit-service #

• Several fixes and improvements after switching data store from Redis to PostgreSQL.
• Use the configured COPR project when triggering Testing Farm (tests no longer fail for projects which are built in their own COPR namespace) (#524).

Week 15 (March 6th - April 9th) #

packit #

• Tomáš finished teaching packit srpm to linearise extremely complex Git histories, in order to get patches that can be applied when building the SRPM.
• Jirka made the schema validation code Marshmallow3 compatible. This enables building packit in Fedora 32 and Rawhide.

packit-service #

• Franta fixed an issue with parsing release events.
• Jirka made code Marshmallow3 compatible in this project, too.

Week 16 (April 14th - April 17th) #

packit & packit-service #

• Job metadata field dist-git-branch is now marked as deprecated, to be replaced by dist_git_branches to match the naming of other metadata fields and to accept multiple branch names where Packit should work. (#797, #788 and #564).
• A great deal of refactoring, CI work and general code improvements which will make Packit and Packit Service run smoother and development easier.

Week 17 (April 20th - April 24th) #

packit-service #

In this week we mostly focused on CentOS Stream and some under the hood improvements, none of which are available for Github projects.

• Jano did a lot of work on initial CentOS Stream integration.
• Hunor added a Pagure build status reporting.
• Anchit added first API tests and improved build statuses given by the API.
• Laura and Rishav improved how data about Copr builds are stored in our db.

Week 18 (April 27th - April 30th) #

packit-service #

• Franta did a great deal of service & worker refactoring related to CentOS (#586) and to forks usage in Github. (#589)
• Hunor fixed confusing Github status messages while building in Copr. (#588)
