So, as a starter, what I really like about copr is: - it is actually a incubator, a tool to get packages or collections of packages built. One can easily experiment without actually disturbing other users. Copr lowers the entry barrier for new pacakgers. - the ability to directly upload srpms; that is, one can store spec files etc. on the local machine. I'm undecided, if integrating a distgit on copr would solve any issues or would introduce more, like diverging specs. - the ability to include external repositories, like the one from CentOS project. What I would like to see: - maybe a easy possibility to build packages triggered by upstream source changes. This is comparable to delorean[1]. I'm not sure if it needs to be re-implemented. - prioritization of manually uploaded tasks vs. automatic builds. If that really lowers the waiting time for builds it to be discussed. Maybe adding a "bulk" flag to tag builds as: build it, when a builder is available, but it's not a priority. Send a message once the build is done. - it would be great, if there is a possibility to trigger rebuilds on dependent packages, like rebuild required packages after ABI bump.
