Packit: 2 years of upstream ⟷ downstream
summary
Packit is a CI service and GitHub app that connects upstream projects to Fedora, RHEL and CentOS Stream, running 47,000 Copr builds and about 7,000 SRPM builds in the past year while recording 45 contributors and 1,300 merged PRs. It adds custom Copr projects, Koji builds and new triggers for comments and releases, integrates Testing Farm for installability and DMD tests, exposes a staging GitHub app and dashboards, and adopts a source-git workflow to keep downstream repos identical to upstream history.
