Week 50 (December 10th – December 16th)​

  • We have added a --resultdir option for building in mock via our CLI (packit build in-mock). (packit#2475)

  • For our specfile users, there is a new convenience method Sections.get_or_create() that allows you to manipulate a section without checking if it exists first. If a section doesn't exist, it will be appended to the end. For example, this will work properly even on spec files without %changelog:

    with spec.sections() as sections:
        changelog = sections.get_or_create("changelog")
        changelog[:] = ["%autochangelog"]

    (specfile#441)

  • We have also switched our base images from CentOS 9 Stream to Fedora 41 to allow you using the features from the latest rpm 4.20. (deployment#622)

  • We have unified status names for VM Image builds. (packit-service#2679)

  • We have started building our container images for alternative architectures. (packit-service#2675)

Week 49 (December 3rd – December 9th)​

  • It's finally here! The team is planning to release Packit 1.0.0! We want to take this opportunity to clean up long-time deprecated config options and a related code. To not let you alone in this, you can expect a pull request with required changes in case you are affected. More information about this change can be found on a separate page.

We, the packit team, are happy to invite you to our upcoming workshop about pulling upstream releases to Fedora using Packit.

When: Wed, Jan 10, 9:30 AM - Wed, Jan 10, 12:30 PM (GMT+1)

Where: Online!

Who should attend: Anyone who maintains a package in Fedora or EPEL and would like to automate syncing the upstream releases for it. The automation is most suitable for simple packages with straightforward update processes (e.g. without patches, or need to build in side-tags). It works without access to the upstream repository.

No package? It’s not an issue. The workshop can help you understand the Fedora release process and the services involved. During the workshop, you can help someone else automate their package or ask someone around if you can help with the maintenance (that’s usually very welcome!). You can also bring an orphaned package back to life!

Can’t make it this time? You can also follow our documentation and ask for help in case of any issue: #packit:fedora.im (Matrix).

If you want to join us please fill this form or contact us on Matrix, and we will send you further details!

Looking forward to seeing you!
