Build Status

Packit

Elevator pitch

Packit is a CLI tool that helps developers auto-package upstream projects into Fedora operating system. You can use packit to continously build your upstream project in Fedora. With packit you can create SRPMs, open pull requests in dist-git, submit koji builds and even create bodhi updates, effectively replacing the whole Fedora packaging workflow.

Plan and current status

We are working on two things now:

  1. Packit as a tool - a standalone CLI tool which you can install from Fedora repositories and use easily.
  2. Packit service - A service offering built on top of packit tool. Our expectation is that you would add packit service into your Github repository and it would start handling things automatically: opening pull requests on dist-git, building packages, creating updates, ...

For the run-down of the planned work, please see the task-list below.

  • E2E workflow for getting upstream releases into Fedora using packit CLI.
    • Bring new upstream releases into Fedora rawhide as dist-git pull requests. (propose-update command included in 0.1.0 release)
    • Build the change once it's merged. #137
    • Send new downstream changes back to upstream. (so the spec files are in sync) #145
    • Packit can create bodhi updates. #139
    • Ability to propose updates also to stable releases of Fedora.
    • Create SRPMs from the upstream repository
    • Build RPMs in COPR and integrate the results into Github.
  • source-git
    • Packit can create a SRPM from a source-git repo.
    • You can release to rawhide from source-git using packit.
    • Packit can create a source-git repository.
    • Packit helps developers with their source-git repositories.
  • Packit as a service
    • Packit reacts to Github webhooks.
    • Have a Github app for packit.
      • Github app is on Marketplace.
    • Packit service is deployed and usable by anyone.

Configuration

Configuration file for packit is described here.

TL;DR

specfile_path: packit.spec
synced_files:
  - packit.spec
upstream_package_name: packitos
downstream_package_name: packit

User configuration file

User configuration file for packit is described here.

Requirements

Packit is written in python 3 and is supported only on 3.6 and later.

When packit interacts with dist-git, it uses fedpkg, we suggest installing it:

sudo dnf install -y fedpkg

Installation

On Fedora:

$ dnf install packit

You can also use our packit-releases Copr repository (contains also released versions of OGR):

$ dnf copr enable packit/packit-releases
$ dnf install packit

Or from PyPI:

$ pip3 install --user packitos

(packit project on PyPI is NOT this packit project)

You can also install packit from master branch, if you are brave enough:

You can use our packit-master Copr repository (contains master version of OGR):

$ dnf copr enable packit/packit-master
$ dnf install packit

Or

$ pip3 install --user git+https://github.com/packit-service/packit.git

Run from git directly:

You don't need need to install packit to try it out. You can run it directly from git (if you have all the dependencies installed):

$ python3 -m packit.cli.packit_base --help
Usage: packit_base.py [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Options:
  -d, --debug
  -h, --help         Show this message and exit.
...
