As Fabio wrote, just I add that you can opene PR in pagure, which is good way to show people the changes and get some feedback (as well, creating copr build should be done too).

If upstream of your package does major rewrite of it, then what is the proper process to rebase such package? I'm maintainer of cheat [0] which has been rewritten in go. I suppose i need a new package review but then if the new spec passes review am i supposed to replace the spec of old package entirely or preserve changelog and add new entry with description of what happened + link to the review? Hi Tomas, You don't need to go through package review again, since it's not a new package. So just update it to the new version, and keep the old changelog. However, if you want feedback on the new packaging before pushing it to fedora, you could publish the .spec file and submit the new version to a COPR repo first, so users can look at it, test it, and give you comments. I do it like this for my packages when they have major changes. It would be another matter if the new version is installable alongside the old version, then you could package both of them separately, but I guess that's not the case here.
