Hello everybody,

recently, the 5000th PR [1] of the ComplianceAsCode project landed, proposing the Packit CI support. Packit uses the Fedora spec file [2], i.e. source of the RPM package, in the test process.

Does the conversation need to go beyond "default to open"?

Here is a small update of what Packit can / can't do as of January 2020:

 * The spec file synchronization would only apply to rawhide spec
   files, which is not what general public comes in touch with.
 * Packit CI doesn't work with spec files that reference other files
   from dist-git, s.a. patches.

In other words, the current purpose of Packit CI is verification whether a package can be built on Fedora, and there is a risk of false positives - different Fedora versions may require different spec files in order to build, which Packit can't handle ATM.

I see no benefit to expose Rawhide spec file in the upstream project, and I am against exposing it for modification to people who may not have gotten familiar with Fedora packaging guidelines and that themselves can't propose Fedora updates.
