January 2023

Week 0 🌄 (December 20th 2022 – January 2nd 2023)

• ogr now raises GitForgeInternalError rather than PagureAPIException when getting 50x response from the Pagure API. This should increase usability as those tasks will be retried. (ogr#762)
• Packit now puts the correct release number into the changelog when the Release tag is reset during propose-downstream. (packit#1816))

Week 1 (January 3rd – January 9th)

• SRPMs for projects that installed the GitHub App before September 6th and don't have srpm_build_deps defined are now built in Copr as well. (packit-service#1822)
• We have fixed a bug in dashboard that linked null as a Copr build for Testing Farm runs that do not require any Copr build. (dashboard#200)
• All classes including Specfile itself can now be copied using the standard copy() and deepcopy() functions from copy module. (specfile#176)

Week 2 (January 10th – January 16th)

• When configuring Copr chroot (target in Packit terminology) specific configuration, make sure to specify additional_modules as a string: module names separated with a comma, example: "httpd:2.4,python:4". (packit#1826)
• We have fixed a bug which caused long Copr build end reporting time on a few occurrences. (packit-service#1838)
• A few fixes has been implemented to make it possible to use propose-downstream job on GitLab. (packit-service#1842, packit-service#1844, packit-service#1845, packit-service#1846)

Week 3 + 4 (January 17th – January 30th)

• Users can now re-trigger bodhi_update and koji_build jobs by /packit create-update and /packit koji-update comments in an issue opened by Packit in the configured issue_repository if anything went wrong during these jobs. (packit-service#1796)
• All Copr projects created by Packit now default to enable_net=False: our documentation stated this, but it wasn't the case. This is now corrected. (packit#1825)
• You can now specify update_release: false in the configuration to tell Packit not to change the Version and Release in the spec file. It works the same as --no-update-release (renamed from now deprecated --no-bump) in the CLI. (packit#1827)
• Packit now supports setting module_hotfixes for Copr projects. (packit#1829)
• Packit now also allows passing in free-form parameters to Testing Farm in order to support all of its options immediately once they are added. The parameters can be passed through the tf_extra_params config option. The free-form dictionary must follow the structure of Testing Farm POST requests. See our documentation and examples for more information. (packit-service#1853)
• Fixed a bug in section parsing that caused sections to be ignored when there were macro definitions spread across the spec file and not cumulated at the top. (specfile#191)
• Also fixed the infinite loop that occurred when section options were followed by whitespace. (specfile#197)
