As someone who also maintains the code for multiple packages, I say tough luck. The workflow for keeping upstream changes buildable (and having the ability to test the changes) and downstream package specification in sync with said changes could not be worse currently. Packit solves that for me *and* gives me the ability to pull in whatever was done downstream. -- Ernestas Kulik Software Engineer Base Operating Systems - Core Services - ABRT Red Hat Czech, s.r.o. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
