[RFE] can we trigger koji-build (or other packit-service ) ?

[sergiomb2]

Description

hello, last paragraph of https://packit.dev/docs/fedora-releases-guide/non-divergent-dist-git-branches says "You can work around this bug by manually retriggering the Koji build by commenting on the downstream merged pull request with /packit koji-build " .

packit build in-koji doesn't do the bodhi update and packit create-update --dist-git-branch doesn't do the same of packit-service, for example doesn't close the bugs on bugzilla.

Best regards,

Benefit

Hi @sergiomb2 ,

I hope you know this already, but Packit CLI is not a client for the Packit Service but a way to run this with your identity locally. (It's on the same level as service.)
Do you think we should make this somewhere more explicit?

Regarding the commands:

• You can configure the Packit service to create Bodhi updates for builds triggered by other packages (i.e. you): https://packit.dev/docs/configuration/downstream/bodhi_update#optional-parameters
• Same, you can configure the Pakit service to trigger builds for dist-git changes caused by other users: https://packit.dev/docs/configuration/downstream/koji_build#optional-parameters (allowed_pr_authors and allowed_committers).

So, can these options help in your use case?

• If yes, we can mention it in the documentation part you've mentioned.
• If not, can you please suggest what would help you?

Fast Forwarding multiple commits does not automatically trigger a Koji build (Yet)

Unfortunately, there is a bug that prevents Packit from triggering the Koji build when more than one commit has been forwarded in a branch.

You can work around this bug by manually retriggering the Koji build by commenting on the downstream merged pull request with /packit koji-build.

Maybe "with packit command line" is confusing because is one suggestion to solve the RFE.

in resume when packit-service fail to run , I'd like have a way to trigger it again .
