So that did get the epel8-playground branch created for me, in this issue: https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/15267 I was able to successfully pull the branch, populate it, and push it https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/singularity/tree/epel8-playground I tried first without a package.cfg and got these messages from fedpkg build: No local config file exists. Create package.cfg to specify build targets to build. Could not find the release/dist from branch name epel8-playground Please specify with --release Note: You can skip NVR construction & NVR check with --skip-nvr-check. See help for more info. Could not execute build: Cannot continue without properly constructed NVR. Ok, so I created a package.cfg with targets = epel8-playground and then fedpkg build gave me these messages: Target epel8-playground is unknown. Skip. Could not find the release/dist from branch name epel8-playground Please specify with --release Note: You can skip NVR construction & NVR check with --skip-nvr-check. See help for more info. Could not execute build: Cannot continue without properly constructed NVR. I tried using fedpkg --release epel8 build but that just moved it over to the epel8 branch; when used with --skip-nvr-check it said Building singularity-3.3.0-1.el8 for epel8-candidate Can you figure out what's still not right?
