Week 40 (October 1st – October 7th)​

  • packit validate-config now checks for the existence of the downstream package. (packit#2436)
  • Packit now allows building VM images via CLI without any Copr repository specified. (packit#2434)
  • We have unified interface of passing resolved bugs (e.g., Bugzillas as of now) to Packit CLI and via comments. Both CLI and comments now use --resolve-bug switch (comments accept comma-separated list of bugs, CLI accepts the switch multiple times (also -b)). (packit#2428 and packit-service#2560)
  • packit init now adds working directories that are used in packit prepare-sources into the .gitignore file in the same directory where Packit config resides. (packit#2431)
  • Before triggering the non-scratch Koji builds, we now check whether there is not already a build in progress or completed for the same NVR. (packit-service#2559)
  • We have improved the error reporting for failed downstream jobs. (packit-service#2544)
  • We have fixed an issue that caused inconsistencies with the expected behaviour stated by the documentation when adding duplicitous reactions to GitLab comments. (ogr#861)

Week 36 (September 3rd – September 9th)​

  • Packit now supports passing custom arguments to various static analyzers through --csmock-args CLI option and csmock_args configuration. (packit#2402)
  • When syncing a new release, Packit can now avoid diverging git branches by reusing the commit from one branch when opening pull requests into other branches. (These pull requests can be merged in fast-forward mode.) Use the new syntax for dist_git_branches as in this example to utilise this functionality:
{
  "rawhide": {
    "fast_forward_merge_into": ["f40"]
   },
  "fedora-stable": {}
}

Week 34 (August 20st – August 27th)​

  • pull-from-upstream is now supported also without specifying upstream_project_url in the configuration. For such cases, the upstream repository will not be detected and cloned during release syncing. (packit#2398)
  • dist-git init command now allows upstream-git-url not to be specified. (packit#2387)
  • You can newly tag builds of a package into a sidetag group by using /packit koji-tag comment command. (packit-service#2507)
  • Thanks to Cristian Le, epel-10 is now correctly mapped to a centos-stream-10 when running tests. (packit-service#2508)
