Week 4 (January 23rd – January 29th)​

  • pull-from-upstream and propose-downstream commands now have the --sync-acls option that enables syncing the ACLs between dits-git repo and fork. The default behaviour was, however, changed to not sync the ACLs. (packit#2214)
  • Packit now properly handles exceptions when syncing ACLs during release syncing. (packit#2213)
  • allowed_pr_authors and allowed_committers now allow specifying groups and also aliases all_admins and all_committers (corresponding to the access to the repository). (packit-service#2320)

Week 1 (January 2nd – January 8th)​

  • We have changed the behaviour of loading Packit configuration for koji_build and bodhi_update jobs. For both of them, the behaviour is the same as for pull_from_upstream - the configuration is taken from the default branch of the dist-git repository (usually rawhide) and other branches are ignored. (packit-service#2295)

End of the year in Packit​

  • We have hit some issues with the firewall rules on the new cluster hosting our production. We are waiting for the required fix that is done outside of our team which should be deployed around January 11th. We will keep you informed about the current status. At the moment we are aware of the issues related to the:
    • pull-from-upstream jobs that have sources hosted at infradead.org, sourceforge.net and gitlab.gnome.org
    • jobs running on the gitlab.gnome.org in general
  • We have also fixed an issue that caused some Cockpit releases to fail, others might've been affected too, though there are no reports.
